I am a super cop
Chapter 1717 The Northern Branch [2 in 1 Chapter]
Chapter 1717 Northern Branch [Two Chapters in One]
When it comes to that year, Zhang Jinze seems to be full of anger.
It can be seen that what Luo Wei did in some aspects made Zhang Jinze very dissatisfied.
Looking at Zhang Jinze in front of him, Gu Chen also reminded, "What did you mean by that incident back then?"
"I can't tell you about this, it's a secret between us brothers." Facing Gu Chen's question, Zhang Jinze directly chose to refuse.
This also made Gu Chen unexpected.
Lu Weiwei also said angrily: "When is it? You still have something to hide, do you know why we came to you today?"
"Why?" Zhang Jinze didn't seem to know Luo Wei's current situation at all.
Lu Weiwei shook her head and sighed, "Luo Wei is dead."
"What... what?" Hearing this remark, Zhang Jinze, who was previously unwilling to cooperate, suddenly darkened, and hurriedly asked:
"You...you mean, Luo Wei is dead?"
"That's right, he was poisoned to death." Lu Weiwei didn't hide it, and came to look for him this time because of this matter.
But at this moment, Zhang Jinze seemed to be deeply shocked.
It took me a long time to recover.
Upon seeing this, Police Officer Wang also reminded, "Zhang Jinze, we are here this time to find out who Luo Wei offended? Why did someone want to kill him?"
The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Zhang Jinze didn't seem to listen to Officer Wang's words at all, but was immersed in his own thinking.
Seeing him in a daze, Gu Chen reminded him, "Zhang Jinze! Zhang Jinze!"
"Ah?" Zhang Jinze, who had recovered from his stupor, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Chen and said, "Police...comrade policeman, this Luo Wei is really dead? You...you didn't lie to me, did you? "
"What did we lie to you for?" It felt like Zhang Jinze was dumbfounded after hearing the news of Luo Wei's death. Gu Chen also explained:
"This Luo Wei's body is still lying on the testing table of the technical department of our city bureau."
"How did this happen? How did Luo Wei die? I remember hearing people say that he went to Western Europe and made a lot of money, and then returned to Guangdong and Qiong Provinces to deal in seafood."
"If this kind of business continues, he can turn around, but...but how could he?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Jinze broke out in a cold sweat, directly touched the cup on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, so as to relieve his nervous mood.
But Gu Chen could clearly see that Zhang Jinze's hands had begun to show signs of trembling.
"This Zhang Jinze, why did he react so strongly after hearing the news of Luo Wei's death?" Gu Chen couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"You know, even if it was Luo Wei's ex-girlfriend, Xu Juan, the proprietress of the 857 bar, was sad when she heard the news of Luo Wei's death, but she didn't react so strongly."
"Obviously, there is something wrong with Zhang Jinze. The reaction to Luo Wei's death was too violent."
Glancing secretly at Zhang Jinze's face, Gu Chen found that at this moment, Zhang Jinze's eyes began to involuntarily become dazed, as if he was still thinking about something.
But all of this was also seen by Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
"Zhang Jinze." Seeing that Zhang Jinze was still thinking about the problem, Gu Chen asked him directly: "Did Luo Wei offend anyone during this time?"
"I don't know, I don't know, I haven't contacted him for a long time." Zhang Jinze shook his head in denial.
"What did you just say about the previous incident?" Gu Chen asked again.
Zhang Jinze tried hard to recall, but he still explained to Gu Chen and the others: "Before...before, we were still in the same company, that is, before Luo Wei went bankrupt."
"One time, when we transported the machines produced by our company to other places for installation, we met a foreign woman on the construction site."
"Foreign woman?" Yuan Shasha heard the words, and hurriedly asked Zhang Jinze: "Is this woman called Tessa?"
"Yes, it's Tessa, how do you know?" Zhang Jinze was shocked when he heard Yuan Shasha's words.
Yuan Shasha looked at Gu Chen, but Gu Chen asked seriously: "Don't worry about this for now, what will happen later?"
"Later? Later Tessa heard that we were doing mechanical engineering. She once asked us to send out a construction vehicle, which was considered to be rented to her. At that time, she took a group of people and seemed to be going to the mountains. It is said that it was to go treasure hunting .”
"Be more specific." Hearing this, there was a problem, and Police Officer Wang also reminded.
Zhang Jinze didn't dare to hide it, and corrected him: "It's said...it's a treasure hunt, but it's actually a tomb robbery."
"Because this foreign woman and her group seem to have discovered an ancient tomb, but because the ancient tomb is too complicated, it is difficult to do it manually."
"So, that person named Tessa has a Chinese military advisor by her side, and asked Tessa to hire an engineering vehicle to help."
"But wouldn't that expose it?" Lu Weiwei said.
Zhang Jinze nodded silently: "Yes, it is indeed easy to be exposed, so that day we met at a farmhouse restaurant near a construction site. That woman named Tessa heard that we were engaged in mechanical engineering, so she deliberately made friends with us."
"Later, Tessa called Luo Wei and me aside alone, and asked if we wanted to make a fortune with her?"
"She told us that if you want to, help her get a small excavator to go to the mountains, and then everyone will have a share. The less people know about it, the better."
"That's it, we discussed in private, and finally figured out Tessa's purpose. These people are descendants of the Northern Tomb Raiders."
"And this Tessa, who was originally Chinese, was also one of the descendants of the Northern School of Tomb Raiders. Later, because of avoiding cholera, she followed a few generations, went to Nanyang together, and settled in Southeast Asia."
"But because of the family's decline, according to the family records, I plan to take back some of the treasures obtained from the tomb robbery."
"Isn't that digging my own grave?" Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei also had some strange images floating in her mind.
But Zhang Jinze waved his hand and said: "No, although it is a tomb robbery, this tomb is empty, and there is no corpse buried inside. It is just a secret warehouse built to hide people's eyes and ears."
"On the surface, this is an inconspicuous wild tomb, but in fact, there is a secret passage under the wild tomb, where they buried their treasures back then."
"Because of the long history, this woman named Tessa also took her subordinates and searched the country for a long time before finally confirming her location."
"But they will easily let you participate?" Lu Weiwei felt that there was a suspicion of lying.
After all, the things buried in the ancestors allow you to participate in the excavation so easily?Participate in the spoils?
This is obviously taken for granted.
Zhang Jinze knew that the police didn't believe it, so he quickly explained: "At first we also had doubts. After all, such a good thing seems to come too suddenly."
"But I found that they really encountered a bottleneck, because it is basically difficult to dig the underground passage purely by manpower."
"Even if it is possible, it may take several months. During this period, if you come here every day, it may be easy to expose the target."
"So they want to make a quick decision, take the form of sharing the spoils, let us participate and assist in the excavation."
"Afterwards, they will give us part of the excavation proceeds, and we will all keep the secrets and make a fortune together."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jinze seemed to still have lingering fears.
After Gu Chen recorded all this, he continued to ask Zhang Jinze: "Then did you agree afterwards?"
"Agree, of course I agree." Zhang Jinze nodded unabashedly, and said earnestly: "Back then, Luo Weigang and I started our business not long ago, and our business was still in its infancy."
"And at that time, we all had various loan pressures and had to run the company, so making money was the last word."
"Thinking about coming to this area, I can make a lot of money. If what Tessa said is true, then this is much more profitable than doing machinery manufacturing, so we decided to go there with them to have a look."
"Then what happened next?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Later? Then we called in a confidant, who has been with us since we opened the factory. That guy is an all-around talent. He has driven excavators and trucks on construction sites before."
"So at that time we rented a small excavator in the local area and dragged it up the mountain with a car. We originally had a treasure hunting mentality to give it a try."
"I thought it might be a lie, but I wanted to give it a go. After all, if I can't dig something, Tessa and the others will also pay a fee. As a reward, it's not bad to think about it."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Jinze also tried to calm down, trying to recall and said:
"At that time, everyone was a fan of money, and it felt like trying their luck, but the result made us overjoyed."
"Did you find a treasure?" Police Officer Wang hurriedly asked, thinking it was interesting.
Zhang Jinze nodded silently, and voluntarily admitted: "That's right, we used an excavator to break open the wild tomb, and indeed found that it was an empty tomb. In fact, there was nothing underneath."
"But further down, it's terrible. There is indeed a secret passage inside. We used the excavator to break through for 6 hours before finally breaking open the door of the secret room violently."
"Afterwards, I, Luo Wei, that brother, and Tessa's people each sent one person in to check the situation."
"Our side is Luo Wei and Tessa going in. Tessa seems to be very experienced, because the map of this secret passage was left by Tessa's ancestors, and there is not much danger."
"So, you found a lot of good things in this secret passage, right?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes, there are gains, but not many." Zhang Jinze sighed faintly, and said helplessly, "It's less than we imagined."
"However, as hard work and hush money, Tessa still distributed some antiques to the three of us and told us the age of the antiques."
"How much is it worth?" Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand and raised his head to ask him.
Zhang Jinze said in retrospect: "Probably, the total value is more than 100 million."
"After all, these things were all hidden by Tessa's ancestors, and they can be considered as belongings of Tessa's ancestors. We can get this antique, which is also considered a windfall."
"What about later?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Later?" Zhang Jinze scratched the back of his head, and said with some regret: "Later, according to the agreement, we will separate from Tessa and the others after filling up the soil."
"Where Tessa and the others went, I don't know, but we have disagreements because of these antiques."
"Please be more specific." Officer Wang said.
Zhang Jinze nodded silently, and took the initiative to explain to several people: "Those antiques are everyone's common property, which was agreed in advance, but Luo Wei is determined to use these things as capital injection for the company."
"Because the machines we produced before were all small machines with low technological content, not to mention low profits, and we often had to distribute goods to buyers, so there was a lot of financial pressure."
"This money can be said to be a windfall, but the brother who drives the excavator is not happy anymore, even if he is allowed to invest."
"He is going to get married and buy a house in his hometown. This money can give him a down payment, but Luo Wei is afraid that things will be exposed."
After a pause, Zhang Jinze also spread his hands and explained seriously: "After all, if you think about it, you know that if this money suddenly falls from the sky, and this guy uses this money to get married and buy a house to pay the down payment, what will others say when asked?" ?”
"After all, that guy is also a simple-minded master. Luo Wei was afraid that he would not be able to keep the secret, so he told him to let him become a shareholder of the company, and we can start a business together."
"That person disagrees?" Gu Chen seemed to have guessed the result.
Zhang Jinze nodded silently, and echoed, "You're right, that guy firmly disagrees, and even threatens the two of us, if he doesn't give him what he deserves, he will reveal the matter."
Resting his right hand on his forehead, Zhang Jinze showed a painful expression.
Seeing this face, Gu Chen seemed to feel that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Jinze: "So is that person still alive?"
"Dead." Zhang Jinze said.
"Dead?" Lu Weiwei felt a little unbelievable upon hearing this.
But this is the same as what Gu Chen guessed, maybe this is the trouble caused by money.
Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "How did he die?"
"Car accident." Zhang Jinze choked up and sighed helplessly: "Just when we broke up unhappy, that buddy went directly to the restaurant to drink."
"Maybe it was because he was very angry. That night, this buddy had been waiting for our reply, and he was already in a bad mood."
"Because this was originally a windfall for him, a happy event, but because of Luo Wei's selfishness, he couldn't afford the money."
"But it is also possible that God helped Luo Wei in the dark. After drinking, this buddy was driving back to the construction site when he encountered a car accident on the road. The vehicle he was driving was hit head-on by a large truck down the hillside and died on the spot."
"This guy is really bold, drinking and driving? Isn't this a life-threatening thing?" Police Officer Wang felt a little bit in his heart when he heard that he was driving after drinking.
Zhang Jinze snorted coldly, put his hands on his forehead, and looked frustrated: "It is because of that incident that the relationship between me and Luo Wei has also cracked."
"Although I am short of money, Luo Wei insists on using this money as the company's working capital."
"This more than 100 million was a huge sum of money back then. Afterwards, my buddy, Luo Wei also concealed this matter. It is equal to more than 100 million, and we can share it equally."
"So?" Gu Chen raised his head and stared at Zhang Jinze.
Zhang Jinze felt guilty, lowered his head silently, and said with a speechless expression: "I know that Luo Wei has changed. For the sake of the company, he has become very cold-blooded."
"Luo Wei is also in charge of the company's financial power, but in the first few years, in order to seize the market, he distributed goods to customers in various ways, resulting in a lot of financial pressure."
"I started a business with him for three years, and I didn't get a single salary for three years, all of which were staked in the company's operating funds."
"The loans are getting more and more, like a snowball. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I collected some kickbacks from the parts suppliers. I couldn't do anything about it."
Panting heavily, Zhang Jinze also lost control of his emotions and said: "But Luo Wei is very famous in various occasions, and he is treated as a guest everywhere, but who knows, the company expands and borrows the money from the bank to distribute goods to customers. , there have already been serious problems.”
"A company that seems to be beautiful is actually riddled with holes. At that time, I completely gave up on Luo Wei and intended to leave the company."
"And Luo Wei also took the opportunity to use the guise of receiving high rebates for parts and kicked me out of the company and took back the original shares."
After snorting twice, Zhang Jinze said indifferently: "I don't care anymore, at least I have regained my freedom after leaving this company."
"That guy Luo Wei was burdened with debts all by himself, getting bigger and bigger until he went bankrupt. This is what he deserved."
Seeing Zhang Jinze talking about Luo Wei's bankruptcy, he seemed quite proud.
But when he heard of Luo Wei's death, he became very nervous.
Gu Chen felt that Zhang Jinze seemed to have a lot of things to explain, so he asked again:
"Zhang Jinze, that Tessa back then, do you know where she is now?"
"I don't know. I haven't been in touch since that separation," Zhang Jinze said.
"Then let me tell you, Luo Wei has kept in touch with Tessa since the time you parted?" Gu Chen asked again.
"What did you say?" Zhang Jinze seemed a little unbelievable.
And Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense, and winked at Lu Weiwei, who immediately took out the metal plate and put it on the coffee table.
Seeing this, Zhang Jinze hurried forward to check.
"What is this?" Zhang Jinze asked.
"Look at the symbols and totems on it." Gu Chen reminded.
Zhang Jinze squinted his eyes, and then began to look carefully.
But when Zhang Jinze found the symbols and totems on the metal plate, his expression froze: "This...isn't..."
"What is it?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"It's that woman's symbol and totem." Zhang Jinze covered his face with his right hand, not daring to look any further, and murmured:
"When I was digging the secret passage in the wild grave, I saw the map in Tessa's hand, and there were such symbols and totems on it."
"Are you sure?" Officer Wang looked at the crowd, and then asked, "Are you sure it's exactly the same as this one?"
"Of course, the symbols seem to be hieroglyphs, and the totems are a bit like monsters in Shan Hai Jing."
"When I saw this thing back then, I was also at a loss, and it felt a little novel."
"But Tessa quickly took it back, as if she didn't want me to see it, but I still saw some things on it."
"What exactly is it?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked him.
"It's an ancient tomb. The secret passage dug up that year may be just one of the treasures buried by the tomb robbers from the north, and such ancient tombs seem to be scattered all over the country. They are planning to dig out all these things."
"All over the country?" Gu Chen couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this answer.
You know, according to the introduction of the car dealer Xu Feng, Tessa has been traveling in the mountains and rivers for several years, and she wants Xu Feng to help her record her travel life in China.
"But if Tessa is a descendant of the northern tomb robbers, then she must have come to China to find the treasures buried by her ancestors and to visit all over the country. Maybe it was just a cover."
Thinking of this, Gu Chen finally figured out that Tessa's real purpose was to use Xu Feng from the car dealership as a cover to help her find the places where the northern tomb robbers hid their treasures.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tessa to go out with Xu Feng sometimes and go out alone sometimes.
Obviously, they used the maps left by their ancestors to conduct surveys and treasure hunts in various corners of the country.
In this way, it seems to be explained.
Thinking of Luo Wei being poisoned to death recently, Gu Chen also thought of how Luo Wei picked her up on a battery car after Tessa opened the mold.
It can be seen that Luo Wei had abandoned Zhang Jinze at that time, and was secretly in contact with Tessa.
After all, from Zhang Jinze's words just now, Gu Chen can also capture many useful clues.
For example, when two groups of people were outside the secret passage, Luo Wei and Tessa entered the secret room together to take out the treasure.
Perhaps the two had already reached a tacit agreement in the secret room.
At that time, Luo Wei seemed to want to join.
Otherwise, if Tessa opened the model, it would be impossible for Luo Wei to pick her up. It can be seen that the relationship between the two was very unusual at that time.
"Then if this is the case, could it be that Tessa murdered Luo Wei to silence her?"
Thinking of these, Gu Chen felt that it was very possible.
After recovering, seeing that Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were still asking Zhang Jinze about other things, Gu Chen interrupted:
"Zhang Jinze, are you sure Tessa wants to dig more than one ancient tomb?"
"Okay, that's of course, there are many such signs on her map, and the place we excavated at that time was numbered 'one', and I feel that there may be more than a dozen places recorded on that map."
"What? There are more than a dozen places?" Lu Weiwei was also dumbfounded when she heard this number, and couldn't help complaining:
"How wicked was this Tessa's ancestor back then? Stealing so many things from others? He even worked hard and hid them in more than a dozen places across the country? This..."
"It's normal." Police officer Wang was not surprised, and expressed his own thoughts: "Perhaps this group of people is a gang from the Northern faction. Later, in order to avoid disaster, everyone moved to different areas, so they lived in different areas. , to bury treasures."
After a pause, Police Officer Wang continued: "For example, Tessa, their northern tomb robbery gang went to Southeast Asia, and another northern tomb robbery gang is like Hejia Village in Gaoquling. "
Speaking of this, Police Officer Wang couldn't help being taken aback, turned his head to look at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, Gaoquling, Hejia Village, maybe they were with the Taisha family back then?"
"It's possible." Gu Chen also noticed this, so he turned his head to remind Zhang Jinze: "If you know where Tessa is, please tell us immediately."
"If Luo Wei died at the hands of Tessa, then you may be the only one who knew these secrets back then."
Why did Gu Chen say that?
Because the person who participated in Tessa's excavation of treasures, the driver of the excavator, died after drunk driving, and now Luo Wei was poisoned again.
Moreover, I learned from Xu Juan, the proprietress of the 857 bar, that when Luo Wei was in the coastal wholesale market, when communicating with Xu Juan on the phone, he had a premonition that there was danger around him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Luo Wei not to contact Xu Juan after returning to Jiangnan City for the last time, but to celebrate alone on such an important day as paying off the debt.
It is also impossible to suddenly send a few bags of salted fish to the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch, and hide the metal plate with special symbols and totems in it.
Obviously, all this indicates that Luo Wei seems to have felt that his life may not be long.
So among the three people back then, now only Zhang Jinze is still alive.
In this way, Gu Chen naturally wanted to remind Zhang Jinze to be careful.
Hearing Gu Chen's reminder, Zhang Jinze also choked up, and asked weakly: "So Officer Gu, what do you mean, Luo Wei is dead, and it's my turn next?"
"I don't want to scare you, but judging from the current situation, the man behind the poisoning of Luo Wei may be Tessa who disappeared."
"And if this is the case, it means that in order to cover up the original secret, Tessa has already started to secretly solve the insider. Luo Wei is one, and so are you."
"You...don't scare me." Although Zhang Jinze was terrified, he still pretended to be calm and retorted:
"From then until now, I haven't mentioned a word about that treasure digging."
"But it doesn't mean that people will let you go." Police officer Wang reminded again kindly while drinking tea:
"In short, you'd better be careful recently. If you find yourself in danger, remember to call the police."
After the words fell, Officer Wang took out his office phone business card and handed it to Zhang Jinze in front of him.
When Zhang Jinze took the business card from the phone, he also took out his own business card and exchanged it with Police Officer Wang.
"Okay, if I am in danger, I will call the police as soon as possible."
"I'm just sorry for Luo Wei's death, and I hope you can find the murderer as soon as possible, and don't let the murderer go unpunished. I will protect myself well."
"This is the best." Seeing Zhang Jinze's stable mood, Gu Chen took it to heart.
The two groups of people continued to tease a few words in the office, and Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha directly out of the office and returned to everyone's police car.
Sitting in the police car outside Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Gu Chen did not drive in a hurry, but lowered the window, and used his master-level observation skills to look at the window of the vice president's office on the second floor of the office building.
At this moment, Zhang Jinze was hiding by the window, using the curtains as a cover, and at the same time watching Gu Chen's side.
"What's the matter, Junior Brother Gu?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously because she didn't have such good eyesight.
Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "This Zhang Jinze is hiding by the window and observing us secretly."
"Is there something wrong with this guy?" Officer Wang also felt that this Zhang Jinze seemed a little confused.
Gu Chen didn't reply immediately, but started the vehicle, left Jiang Sen Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and drove to the branch office.
On the way, Gu Chen reminded: "If Luo Wei's death is related to Tessa, then Zhang Jinze will definitely be in danger."
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen said again: "Well, Senior Brother Wang, help me contact Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, let them stay in plainclothes, and pay close attention to all suspicious movements around Zhang Jinze."
"Are you afraid that Tessa won't let Zhang Jinze go?" Officer Wang seemed to understand what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and echoed, "Now only Zhang Jinze still knows about Tessa."
"Perhaps Tessa back then was just starting out in this business, so she didn't pay much attention to these people."
"Or, since that separation, Luo Wei has been in touch with Tessa and facilitated Tessa's treasure hunt."
"But later, perhaps because Luo Wei's company went bankrupt, and she became paranoid about money, she became interested in Tessa's treasures again, which led to Tessa's idea of getting rid of Luo Wei."
"I think Junior Brother Gu's idea is very unique and very predictable." As soon as Gu Chen's voice fell, Lu Weiwei on the other side echoed:
"Think about it, Tessa went to the factory to open molds a few years ago, and it was Luo Wei who picked her up and left, so at that time, Luo Wei and Tessa were in an alliance. Maybe Tessa couldn't handle it in many ways and needed Luo Wei Great help."
"It may be that Luo Wei got benefits from Tessa's side, or it was a trick. After all, when people are cornered, the evil side of human nature will appear."
"It's like, when we used to conduct fire training in the police academy, I clearly remember that the instructor taught us how to wear a mask."
"He repeatedly emphasized at the time that the buttons of the mask must be fastened, and he emphasized that the fastening must be confirmed, so tight that it cannot be broken by hand."
"At that time, many of our classmates were still very curious. They asked the instructor why? They also asked him if it was to seal to prevent smoke from entering the mouth?"
"Of course not." Officer Wang, who had also received this kind of fire training, also nodded silently, and said with a sigh:
"We have also experienced this kind of training. Anyway, I feel that this question seems to have touched the instructor's heart."
"I remember that our instructor paused for a moment, and told us in a dignified manner that the purpose of fastening this button is to prevent others from taking it off and taking away your escape mask."
"Because in a fire, the most important thing is to protect yourself first. When disaster strikes, never underestimate human nature."
"That's right." Gu Chen also agreed and said, "So when Luo Wei was desperate, when he went bankrupt and owed millions, he might feel that he was cornered."
"At this time, he suddenly thought of Tessa's matter, thinking that he might be able to get a sum of money from Tessa, as the capital for his own recovery."
"And Luo Wei got his wish. With the money he got from Tessa and the travel expenses lent to him by Xu Juan, the proprietress of the 857 Bar, he started his adventure in Western Europe. Finally, relying on his own funds, A gold rush in Western Europe's shrimping industry."
"After all, being able to rent a professional fishing boat in a short period of time is simply not enough to rely on the salary of a sailor."
"That's right." Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, also suddenly realized: "Luo Wei only told us that he was lucky in catching shrimp in Western Europe, and soon got his first pot of gold."
"But in a foreign country, without any background, how can he go so smoothly? It feels like telling a fairy tale, going smoothly, and then returning to China with the first pot of gold to start a business."
"I think it should be like this." At this time, Yuan Shasha, who was sitting in the back row, also gave her own opinion:
"I think this Luo Wei should have obtained a sum of money from Tessa, and accumulated experience in the shrimp fishing industry in Western Europe. Then he used the abundant funds at hand to rent fishing boats and hire sailors. Let's go to sea together."
"So, he needs primitive accumulation, and this primitive accumulation can't be earned just by working shrimp."
After Yuan Shasha finished speaking, the police car suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was thinking about what Yuan Shasha just said.
After a while, Gu Chen also silently nodded, expressing his agreement: "That's right, the hypothesis put forward by Xiao Yuan also exists objectively."
"This Luo Wei, perhaps from the very beginning, when he told us about his experience of starting a new business, he has obviously exaggerated it."
"He said that after he went bankrupt, he ran to Western Europe in embarrassment and used shrimp fishing to make his first pot of gold in the industry. But renting a professional shrimp fishing boat and relying on that salary alone is not feasible at all."
"Perhaps at that time, he had a sum of money to blackmail Tessa, and after returning to China, Tessa also felt the threat from Luo Wei, so she was moved to kill her."
"At this time, Luo Wei has been running around the coastal area, so Tessa couldn't accurately capture Luo Wei's specific location, so she didn't rush to do it."
"But when Luo Wei finished his last business before paying off his debts, he had already begun to discover the fact that he might be targeted."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried hard to calm down, and said involuntarily:
"So, the last call with Xu Juan in the 857 bar in Jiangnan City was actually Luo Wei's last farewell, but Xu Juan didn't realize the seriousness of the problem."
"So that Luo Wei handed over this metal plate to the criminal investigation team of our Furong branch, perhaps giving us some hints about the possible harm he may suffer."
"However, the danger still happened." Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen silently nodded, a little helpless: "It's because we didn't grasp the situation. If we knew Luo Wei was in danger at that time, maybe we could have saved his life, but it's too late to say anything now."
"Eh? Gu Chen, the northern tomb robbers we mentioned in Zhang Jinze's office also mentioned Hejia Village in Gaoquling. Do you think the gang in Hejia Village has some connection with Tessa?" Police Officer Wang said.
"Maybe." Gu Chen also thought about this problem, and while driving, he couldn't help expressing his opinion:
"If Tessa and the villagers of Hejia Village in Gaoquling are all descendants of the northern tomb robbers, then the villagers of Hejia Village may also maintain some kind of connection with Tessa."
"And in this way, I feel that the white-bearded old man He Shaoqing also has a problem."
"You are skeptical. He Shaoqing already knew that Tessa would ask someone to buy that bloody ancient jade, right?" Lu Weiwei could read Gu Chen's inner OS after all.
So when Gu Chen mentioned this, Lu Weiwei could quickly follow her train of thought.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, and echoed, "Senior Sister Lu is right. In fact, I felt a little suspicious when I heard them talk about the transaction process before."
"After all, Tessa sent Xu Feng from the car dealership to buy that piece of Xueqin Ancient Jade alone, so how can Tessa be so sure that Xu Feng will be able to buy it?"
"What if someone buys that bloody ancient jade first?"
"Uh, Gu Chen." Officer Wang scratched his cheeks, and after thinking for a few seconds, he asked Gu Chen, "According to what you mean, then the white-bearded old man He Shaoqing from Hejia Village in Gaoquling may be related to Tai Sha discussed it."
"This piece of ancient blood jade was originally intended for Tessa, right?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and also explained: "Based on what we know so far, Tessa must have been to Hejia Village before, and she also knows that this area has special symbols and totems. The blood-qin ancient jade is in the hands of He Shaoqing."
"So He Shaoqing, on the one hand, organized the villagers to sell all these antiques for cash, and on the other hand, kept the Xueqin ancient jade, and sold them to Xu Feng, who actually came to pick up the goods."
"So it seems that Xu Feng bought this special piece of ancient Xueqin jade and gave it to Tessa as a birthday present."
"It's better to say that Xu Feng was actually just used as a pawn, to serve as an errand between Tessa and He Shaoqing."
"Even if Xu Feng goes or doesn't go, this ancient blood jade with special symbols will fall into Tessa's hands sooner or later."
"That's right." Officer Wang couldn't help snapping his fingers when he heard this: "Tessa is the murderer. Luo Wei's death must have been ordered by Tessa to Liao Zhongkai."
"As for why Liao Zhongkai committed suicide? This may only be solved after Tessa is caught."
After thinking about it, Police Officer Wang suddenly hesitated: "But now, let alone, this Zhang Jinze is indeed a bit unsafe."
"After all, he knows too much. If Tessa is already broken and ready to get rid of everyone who knows, then Zhang Jinze will definitely not stay."
"So we have to notify Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong immediately. We have no choice but to ask Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to do so." Gu Chen said.
Hearing this, Police Officer Wang immediately took out his mobile phone: "I'll make a call now and send Zhang Jinze's information by the way, so that they can stop over immediately."
……
……
Time passed by, Gu Chen drove, and Officer Wang communicated on the phone in the car to deploy tasks.
And Lu Weiwei contacted He Junchao, asking He Junchao to temporarily hand over the task of keeping an eye on Xu Feng to Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe, and He Junchao's focus at this moment should be on keeping an eye on Zhang Jinze. "
Just as everyone communicated and confirmed, the police car slowly drove into the Furong branch.
But when everyone got out of the car and returned to the office, He Junchao raised his head and called out: "Gu Chen, it's too late for you to give orders. Before Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong had time to go over to stay, this Zhang Jinze seems to have run away."
……
In the new week, ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
(End of this chapter)
When it comes to that year, Zhang Jinze seems to be full of anger.
It can be seen that what Luo Wei did in some aspects made Zhang Jinze very dissatisfied.
Looking at Zhang Jinze in front of him, Gu Chen also reminded, "What did you mean by that incident back then?"
"I can't tell you about this, it's a secret between us brothers." Facing Gu Chen's question, Zhang Jinze directly chose to refuse.
This also made Gu Chen unexpected.
Lu Weiwei also said angrily: "When is it? You still have something to hide, do you know why we came to you today?"
"Why?" Zhang Jinze didn't seem to know Luo Wei's current situation at all.
Lu Weiwei shook her head and sighed, "Luo Wei is dead."
"What... what?" Hearing this remark, Zhang Jinze, who was previously unwilling to cooperate, suddenly darkened, and hurriedly asked:
"You...you mean, Luo Wei is dead?"
"That's right, he was poisoned to death." Lu Weiwei didn't hide it, and came to look for him this time because of this matter.
But at this moment, Zhang Jinze seemed to be deeply shocked.
It took me a long time to recover.
Upon seeing this, Police Officer Wang also reminded, "Zhang Jinze, we are here this time to find out who Luo Wei offended? Why did someone want to kill him?"
The voice fell, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Zhang Jinze didn't seem to listen to Officer Wang's words at all, but was immersed in his own thinking.
Seeing him in a daze, Gu Chen reminded him, "Zhang Jinze! Zhang Jinze!"
"Ah?" Zhang Jinze, who had recovered from his stupor, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Chen and said, "Police...comrade policeman, this Luo Wei is really dead? You...you didn't lie to me, did you? "
"What did we lie to you for?" It felt like Zhang Jinze was dumbfounded after hearing the news of Luo Wei's death. Gu Chen also explained:
"This Luo Wei's body is still lying on the testing table of the technical department of our city bureau."
"How did this happen? How did Luo Wei die? I remember hearing people say that he went to Western Europe and made a lot of money, and then returned to Guangdong and Qiong Provinces to deal in seafood."
"If this kind of business continues, he can turn around, but...but how could he?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Jinze broke out in a cold sweat, directly touched the cup on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, so as to relieve his nervous mood.
But Gu Chen could clearly see that Zhang Jinze's hands had begun to show signs of trembling.
"This Zhang Jinze, why did he react so strongly after hearing the news of Luo Wei's death?" Gu Chen couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"You know, even if it was Luo Wei's ex-girlfriend, Xu Juan, the proprietress of the 857 bar, was sad when she heard the news of Luo Wei's death, but she didn't react so strongly."
"Obviously, there is something wrong with Zhang Jinze. The reaction to Luo Wei's death was too violent."
Glancing secretly at Zhang Jinze's face, Gu Chen found that at this moment, Zhang Jinze's eyes began to involuntarily become dazed, as if he was still thinking about something.
But all of this was also seen by Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.
"Zhang Jinze." Seeing that Zhang Jinze was still thinking about the problem, Gu Chen asked him directly: "Did Luo Wei offend anyone during this time?"
"I don't know, I don't know, I haven't contacted him for a long time." Zhang Jinze shook his head in denial.
"What did you just say about the previous incident?" Gu Chen asked again.
Zhang Jinze tried hard to recall, but he still explained to Gu Chen and the others: "Before...before, we were still in the same company, that is, before Luo Wei went bankrupt."
"One time, when we transported the machines produced by our company to other places for installation, we met a foreign woman on the construction site."
"Foreign woman?" Yuan Shasha heard the words, and hurriedly asked Zhang Jinze: "Is this woman called Tessa?"
"Yes, it's Tessa, how do you know?" Zhang Jinze was shocked when he heard Yuan Shasha's words.
Yuan Shasha looked at Gu Chen, but Gu Chen asked seriously: "Don't worry about this for now, what will happen later?"
"Later? Later Tessa heard that we were doing mechanical engineering. She once asked us to send out a construction vehicle, which was considered to be rented to her. At that time, she took a group of people and seemed to be going to the mountains. It is said that it was to go treasure hunting .”
"Be more specific." Hearing this, there was a problem, and Police Officer Wang also reminded.
Zhang Jinze didn't dare to hide it, and corrected him: "It's said...it's a treasure hunt, but it's actually a tomb robbery."
"Because this foreign woman and her group seem to have discovered an ancient tomb, but because the ancient tomb is too complicated, it is difficult to do it manually."
"So, that person named Tessa has a Chinese military advisor by her side, and asked Tessa to hire an engineering vehicle to help."
"But wouldn't that expose it?" Lu Weiwei said.
Zhang Jinze nodded silently: "Yes, it is indeed easy to be exposed, so that day we met at a farmhouse restaurant near a construction site. That woman named Tessa heard that we were engaged in mechanical engineering, so she deliberately made friends with us."
"Later, Tessa called Luo Wei and me aside alone, and asked if we wanted to make a fortune with her?"
"She told us that if you want to, help her get a small excavator to go to the mountains, and then everyone will have a share. The less people know about it, the better."
"That's it, we discussed in private, and finally figured out Tessa's purpose. These people are descendants of the Northern Tomb Raiders."
"And this Tessa, who was originally Chinese, was also one of the descendants of the Northern School of Tomb Raiders. Later, because of avoiding cholera, she followed a few generations, went to Nanyang together, and settled in Southeast Asia."
"But because of the family's decline, according to the family records, I plan to take back some of the treasures obtained from the tomb robbery."
"Isn't that digging my own grave?" Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei also had some strange images floating in her mind.
But Zhang Jinze waved his hand and said: "No, although it is a tomb robbery, this tomb is empty, and there is no corpse buried inside. It is just a secret warehouse built to hide people's eyes and ears."
"On the surface, this is an inconspicuous wild tomb, but in fact, there is a secret passage under the wild tomb, where they buried their treasures back then."
"Because of the long history, this woman named Tessa also took her subordinates and searched the country for a long time before finally confirming her location."
"But they will easily let you participate?" Lu Weiwei felt that there was a suspicion of lying.
After all, the things buried in the ancestors allow you to participate in the excavation so easily?Participate in the spoils?
This is obviously taken for granted.
Zhang Jinze knew that the police didn't believe it, so he quickly explained: "At first we also had doubts. After all, such a good thing seems to come too suddenly."
"But I found that they really encountered a bottleneck, because it is basically difficult to dig the underground passage purely by manpower."
"Even if it is possible, it may take several months. During this period, if you come here every day, it may be easy to expose the target."
"So they want to make a quick decision, take the form of sharing the spoils, let us participate and assist in the excavation."
"Afterwards, they will give us part of the excavation proceeds, and we will all keep the secrets and make a fortune together."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jinze seemed to still have lingering fears.
After Gu Chen recorded all this, he continued to ask Zhang Jinze: "Then did you agree afterwards?"
"Agree, of course I agree." Zhang Jinze nodded unabashedly, and said earnestly: "Back then, Luo Weigang and I started our business not long ago, and our business was still in its infancy."
"And at that time, we all had various loan pressures and had to run the company, so making money was the last word."
"Thinking about coming to this area, I can make a lot of money. If what Tessa said is true, then this is much more profitable than doing machinery manufacturing, so we decided to go there with them to have a look."
"Then what happened next?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Later? Then we called in a confidant, who has been with us since we opened the factory. That guy is an all-around talent. He has driven excavators and trucks on construction sites before."
"So at that time we rented a small excavator in the local area and dragged it up the mountain with a car. We originally had a treasure hunting mentality to give it a try."
"I thought it might be a lie, but I wanted to give it a go. After all, if I can't dig something, Tessa and the others will also pay a fee. As a reward, it's not bad to think about it."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Jinze also tried to calm down, trying to recall and said:
"At that time, everyone was a fan of money, and it felt like trying their luck, but the result made us overjoyed."
"Did you find a treasure?" Police Officer Wang hurriedly asked, thinking it was interesting.
Zhang Jinze nodded silently, and voluntarily admitted: "That's right, we used an excavator to break open the wild tomb, and indeed found that it was an empty tomb. In fact, there was nothing underneath."
"But further down, it's terrible. There is indeed a secret passage inside. We used the excavator to break through for 6 hours before finally breaking open the door of the secret room violently."
"Afterwards, I, Luo Wei, that brother, and Tessa's people each sent one person in to check the situation."
"Our side is Luo Wei and Tessa going in. Tessa seems to be very experienced, because the map of this secret passage was left by Tessa's ancestors, and there is not much danger."
"So, you found a lot of good things in this secret passage, right?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes, there are gains, but not many." Zhang Jinze sighed faintly, and said helplessly, "It's less than we imagined."
"However, as hard work and hush money, Tessa still distributed some antiques to the three of us and told us the age of the antiques."
"How much is it worth?" Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand and raised his head to ask him.
Zhang Jinze said in retrospect: "Probably, the total value is more than 100 million."
"After all, these things were all hidden by Tessa's ancestors, and they can be considered as belongings of Tessa's ancestors. We can get this antique, which is also considered a windfall."
"What about later?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Later?" Zhang Jinze scratched the back of his head, and said with some regret: "Later, according to the agreement, we will separate from Tessa and the others after filling up the soil."
"Where Tessa and the others went, I don't know, but we have disagreements because of these antiques."
"Please be more specific." Officer Wang said.
Zhang Jinze nodded silently, and took the initiative to explain to several people: "Those antiques are everyone's common property, which was agreed in advance, but Luo Wei is determined to use these things as capital injection for the company."
"Because the machines we produced before were all small machines with low technological content, not to mention low profits, and we often had to distribute goods to buyers, so there was a lot of financial pressure."
"This money can be said to be a windfall, but the brother who drives the excavator is not happy anymore, even if he is allowed to invest."
"He is going to get married and buy a house in his hometown. This money can give him a down payment, but Luo Wei is afraid that things will be exposed."
After a pause, Zhang Jinze also spread his hands and explained seriously: "After all, if you think about it, you know that if this money suddenly falls from the sky, and this guy uses this money to get married and buy a house to pay the down payment, what will others say when asked?" ?”
"After all, that guy is also a simple-minded master. Luo Wei was afraid that he would not be able to keep the secret, so he told him to let him become a shareholder of the company, and we can start a business together."
"That person disagrees?" Gu Chen seemed to have guessed the result.
Zhang Jinze nodded silently, and echoed, "You're right, that guy firmly disagrees, and even threatens the two of us, if he doesn't give him what he deserves, he will reveal the matter."
Resting his right hand on his forehead, Zhang Jinze showed a painful expression.
Seeing this face, Gu Chen seemed to feel that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Jinze: "So is that person still alive?"
"Dead." Zhang Jinze said.
"Dead?" Lu Weiwei felt a little unbelievable upon hearing this.
But this is the same as what Gu Chen guessed, maybe this is the trouble caused by money.
Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "How did he die?"
"Car accident." Zhang Jinze choked up and sighed helplessly: "Just when we broke up unhappy, that buddy went directly to the restaurant to drink."
"Maybe it was because he was very angry. That night, this buddy had been waiting for our reply, and he was already in a bad mood."
"Because this was originally a windfall for him, a happy event, but because of Luo Wei's selfishness, he couldn't afford the money."
"But it is also possible that God helped Luo Wei in the dark. After drinking, this buddy was driving back to the construction site when he encountered a car accident on the road. The vehicle he was driving was hit head-on by a large truck down the hillside and died on the spot."
"This guy is really bold, drinking and driving? Isn't this a life-threatening thing?" Police Officer Wang felt a little bit in his heart when he heard that he was driving after drinking.
Zhang Jinze snorted coldly, put his hands on his forehead, and looked frustrated: "It is because of that incident that the relationship between me and Luo Wei has also cracked."
"Although I am short of money, Luo Wei insists on using this money as the company's working capital."
"This more than 100 million was a huge sum of money back then. Afterwards, my buddy, Luo Wei also concealed this matter. It is equal to more than 100 million, and we can share it equally."
"So?" Gu Chen raised his head and stared at Zhang Jinze.
Zhang Jinze felt guilty, lowered his head silently, and said with a speechless expression: "I know that Luo Wei has changed. For the sake of the company, he has become very cold-blooded."
"Luo Wei is also in charge of the company's financial power, but in the first few years, in order to seize the market, he distributed goods to customers in various ways, resulting in a lot of financial pressure."
"I started a business with him for three years, and I didn't get a single salary for three years, all of which were staked in the company's operating funds."
"The loans are getting more and more, like a snowball. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I collected some kickbacks from the parts suppliers. I couldn't do anything about it."
Panting heavily, Zhang Jinze also lost control of his emotions and said: "But Luo Wei is very famous in various occasions, and he is treated as a guest everywhere, but who knows, the company expands and borrows the money from the bank to distribute goods to customers. , there have already been serious problems.”
"A company that seems to be beautiful is actually riddled with holes. At that time, I completely gave up on Luo Wei and intended to leave the company."
"And Luo Wei also took the opportunity to use the guise of receiving high rebates for parts and kicked me out of the company and took back the original shares."
After snorting twice, Zhang Jinze said indifferently: "I don't care anymore, at least I have regained my freedom after leaving this company."
"That guy Luo Wei was burdened with debts all by himself, getting bigger and bigger until he went bankrupt. This is what he deserved."
Seeing Zhang Jinze talking about Luo Wei's bankruptcy, he seemed quite proud.
But when he heard of Luo Wei's death, he became very nervous.
Gu Chen felt that Zhang Jinze seemed to have a lot of things to explain, so he asked again:
"Zhang Jinze, that Tessa back then, do you know where she is now?"
"I don't know. I haven't been in touch since that separation," Zhang Jinze said.
"Then let me tell you, Luo Wei has kept in touch with Tessa since the time you parted?" Gu Chen asked again.
"What did you say?" Zhang Jinze seemed a little unbelievable.
And Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense, and winked at Lu Weiwei, who immediately took out the metal plate and put it on the coffee table.
Seeing this, Zhang Jinze hurried forward to check.
"What is this?" Zhang Jinze asked.
"Look at the symbols and totems on it." Gu Chen reminded.
Zhang Jinze squinted his eyes, and then began to look carefully.
But when Zhang Jinze found the symbols and totems on the metal plate, his expression froze: "This...isn't..."
"What is it?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"It's that woman's symbol and totem." Zhang Jinze covered his face with his right hand, not daring to look any further, and murmured:
"When I was digging the secret passage in the wild grave, I saw the map in Tessa's hand, and there were such symbols and totems on it."
"Are you sure?" Officer Wang looked at the crowd, and then asked, "Are you sure it's exactly the same as this one?"
"Of course, the symbols seem to be hieroglyphs, and the totems are a bit like monsters in Shan Hai Jing."
"When I saw this thing back then, I was also at a loss, and it felt a little novel."
"But Tessa quickly took it back, as if she didn't want me to see it, but I still saw some things on it."
"What exactly is it?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked him.
"It's an ancient tomb. The secret passage dug up that year may be just one of the treasures buried by the tomb robbers from the north, and such ancient tombs seem to be scattered all over the country. They are planning to dig out all these things."
"All over the country?" Gu Chen couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this answer.
You know, according to the introduction of the car dealer Xu Feng, Tessa has been traveling in the mountains and rivers for several years, and she wants Xu Feng to help her record her travel life in China.
"But if Tessa is a descendant of the northern tomb robbers, then she must have come to China to find the treasures buried by her ancestors and to visit all over the country. Maybe it was just a cover."
Thinking of this, Gu Chen finally figured out that Tessa's real purpose was to use Xu Feng from the car dealership as a cover to help her find the places where the northern tomb robbers hid their treasures.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tessa to go out with Xu Feng sometimes and go out alone sometimes.
Obviously, they used the maps left by their ancestors to conduct surveys and treasure hunts in various corners of the country.
In this way, it seems to be explained.
Thinking of Luo Wei being poisoned to death recently, Gu Chen also thought of how Luo Wei picked her up on a battery car after Tessa opened the mold.
It can be seen that Luo Wei had abandoned Zhang Jinze at that time, and was secretly in contact with Tessa.
After all, from Zhang Jinze's words just now, Gu Chen can also capture many useful clues.
For example, when two groups of people were outside the secret passage, Luo Wei and Tessa entered the secret room together to take out the treasure.
Perhaps the two had already reached a tacit agreement in the secret room.
At that time, Luo Wei seemed to want to join.
Otherwise, if Tessa opened the model, it would be impossible for Luo Wei to pick her up. It can be seen that the relationship between the two was very unusual at that time.
"Then if this is the case, could it be that Tessa murdered Luo Wei to silence her?"
Thinking of these, Gu Chen felt that it was very possible.
After recovering, seeing that Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were still asking Zhang Jinze about other things, Gu Chen interrupted:
"Zhang Jinze, are you sure Tessa wants to dig more than one ancient tomb?"
"Okay, that's of course, there are many such signs on her map, and the place we excavated at that time was numbered 'one', and I feel that there may be more than a dozen places recorded on that map."
"What? There are more than a dozen places?" Lu Weiwei was also dumbfounded when she heard this number, and couldn't help complaining:
"How wicked was this Tessa's ancestor back then? Stealing so many things from others? He even worked hard and hid them in more than a dozen places across the country? This..."
"It's normal." Police officer Wang was not surprised, and expressed his own thoughts: "Perhaps this group of people is a gang from the Northern faction. Later, in order to avoid disaster, everyone moved to different areas, so they lived in different areas. , to bury treasures."
After a pause, Police Officer Wang continued: "For example, Tessa, their northern tomb robbery gang went to Southeast Asia, and another northern tomb robbery gang is like Hejia Village in Gaoquling. "
Speaking of this, Police Officer Wang couldn't help being taken aback, turned his head to look at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, Gaoquling, Hejia Village, maybe they were with the Taisha family back then?"
"It's possible." Gu Chen also noticed this, so he turned his head to remind Zhang Jinze: "If you know where Tessa is, please tell us immediately."
"If Luo Wei died at the hands of Tessa, then you may be the only one who knew these secrets back then."
Why did Gu Chen say that?
Because the person who participated in Tessa's excavation of treasures, the driver of the excavator, died after drunk driving, and now Luo Wei was poisoned again.
Moreover, I learned from Xu Juan, the proprietress of the 857 bar, that when Luo Wei was in the coastal wholesale market, when communicating with Xu Juan on the phone, he had a premonition that there was danger around him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Luo Wei not to contact Xu Juan after returning to Jiangnan City for the last time, but to celebrate alone on such an important day as paying off the debt.
It is also impossible to suddenly send a few bags of salted fish to the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch, and hide the metal plate with special symbols and totems in it.
Obviously, all this indicates that Luo Wei seems to have felt that his life may not be long.
So among the three people back then, now only Zhang Jinze is still alive.
In this way, Gu Chen naturally wanted to remind Zhang Jinze to be careful.
Hearing Gu Chen's reminder, Zhang Jinze also choked up, and asked weakly: "So Officer Gu, what do you mean, Luo Wei is dead, and it's my turn next?"
"I don't want to scare you, but judging from the current situation, the man behind the poisoning of Luo Wei may be Tessa who disappeared."
"And if this is the case, it means that in order to cover up the original secret, Tessa has already started to secretly solve the insider. Luo Wei is one, and so are you."
"You...don't scare me." Although Zhang Jinze was terrified, he still pretended to be calm and retorted:
"From then until now, I haven't mentioned a word about that treasure digging."
"But it doesn't mean that people will let you go." Police officer Wang reminded again kindly while drinking tea:
"In short, you'd better be careful recently. If you find yourself in danger, remember to call the police."
After the words fell, Officer Wang took out his office phone business card and handed it to Zhang Jinze in front of him.
When Zhang Jinze took the business card from the phone, he also took out his own business card and exchanged it with Police Officer Wang.
"Okay, if I am in danger, I will call the police as soon as possible."
"I'm just sorry for Luo Wei's death, and I hope you can find the murderer as soon as possible, and don't let the murderer go unpunished. I will protect myself well."
"This is the best." Seeing Zhang Jinze's stable mood, Gu Chen took it to heart.
The two groups of people continued to tease a few words in the office, and Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha directly out of the office and returned to everyone's police car.
Sitting in the police car outside Johnson Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Gu Chen did not drive in a hurry, but lowered the window, and used his master-level observation skills to look at the window of the vice president's office on the second floor of the office building.
At this moment, Zhang Jinze was hiding by the window, using the curtains as a cover, and at the same time watching Gu Chen's side.
"What's the matter, Junior Brother Gu?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously because she didn't have such good eyesight.
Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "This Zhang Jinze is hiding by the window and observing us secretly."
"Is there something wrong with this guy?" Officer Wang also felt that this Zhang Jinze seemed a little confused.
Gu Chen didn't reply immediately, but started the vehicle, left Jiang Sen Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and drove to the branch office.
On the way, Gu Chen reminded: "If Luo Wei's death is related to Tessa, then Zhang Jinze will definitely be in danger."
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen said again: "Well, Senior Brother Wang, help me contact Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, let them stay in plainclothes, and pay close attention to all suspicious movements around Zhang Jinze."
"Are you afraid that Tessa won't let Zhang Jinze go?" Officer Wang seemed to understand what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and echoed, "Now only Zhang Jinze still knows about Tessa."
"Perhaps Tessa back then was just starting out in this business, so she didn't pay much attention to these people."
"Or, since that separation, Luo Wei has been in touch with Tessa and facilitated Tessa's treasure hunt."
"But later, perhaps because Luo Wei's company went bankrupt, and she became paranoid about money, she became interested in Tessa's treasures again, which led to Tessa's idea of getting rid of Luo Wei."
"I think Junior Brother Gu's idea is very unique and very predictable." As soon as Gu Chen's voice fell, Lu Weiwei on the other side echoed:
"Think about it, Tessa went to the factory to open molds a few years ago, and it was Luo Wei who picked her up and left, so at that time, Luo Wei and Tessa were in an alliance. Maybe Tessa couldn't handle it in many ways and needed Luo Wei Great help."
"It may be that Luo Wei got benefits from Tessa's side, or it was a trick. After all, when people are cornered, the evil side of human nature will appear."
"It's like, when we used to conduct fire training in the police academy, I clearly remember that the instructor taught us how to wear a mask."
"He repeatedly emphasized at the time that the buttons of the mask must be fastened, and he emphasized that the fastening must be confirmed, so tight that it cannot be broken by hand."
"At that time, many of our classmates were still very curious. They asked the instructor why? They also asked him if it was to seal to prevent smoke from entering the mouth?"
"Of course not." Officer Wang, who had also received this kind of fire training, also nodded silently, and said with a sigh:
"We have also experienced this kind of training. Anyway, I feel that this question seems to have touched the instructor's heart."
"I remember that our instructor paused for a moment, and told us in a dignified manner that the purpose of fastening this button is to prevent others from taking it off and taking away your escape mask."
"Because in a fire, the most important thing is to protect yourself first. When disaster strikes, never underestimate human nature."
"That's right." Gu Chen also agreed and said, "So when Luo Wei was desperate, when he went bankrupt and owed millions, he might feel that he was cornered."
"At this time, he suddenly thought of Tessa's matter, thinking that he might be able to get a sum of money from Tessa, as the capital for his own recovery."
"And Luo Wei got his wish. With the money he got from Tessa and the travel expenses lent to him by Xu Juan, the proprietress of the 857 Bar, he started his adventure in Western Europe. Finally, relying on his own funds, A gold rush in Western Europe's shrimping industry."
"After all, being able to rent a professional fishing boat in a short period of time is simply not enough to rely on the salary of a sailor."
"That's right." Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, also suddenly realized: "Luo Wei only told us that he was lucky in catching shrimp in Western Europe, and soon got his first pot of gold."
"But in a foreign country, without any background, how can he go so smoothly? It feels like telling a fairy tale, going smoothly, and then returning to China with the first pot of gold to start a business."
"I think it should be like this." At this time, Yuan Shasha, who was sitting in the back row, also gave her own opinion:
"I think this Luo Wei should have obtained a sum of money from Tessa, and accumulated experience in the shrimp fishing industry in Western Europe. Then he used the abundant funds at hand to rent fishing boats and hire sailors. Let's go to sea together."
"So, he needs primitive accumulation, and this primitive accumulation can't be earned just by working shrimp."
After Yuan Shasha finished speaking, the police car suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was thinking about what Yuan Shasha just said.
After a while, Gu Chen also silently nodded, expressing his agreement: "That's right, the hypothesis put forward by Xiao Yuan also exists objectively."
"This Luo Wei, perhaps from the very beginning, when he told us about his experience of starting a new business, he has obviously exaggerated it."
"He said that after he went bankrupt, he ran to Western Europe in embarrassment and used shrimp fishing to make his first pot of gold in the industry. But renting a professional shrimp fishing boat and relying on that salary alone is not feasible at all."
"Perhaps at that time, he had a sum of money to blackmail Tessa, and after returning to China, Tessa also felt the threat from Luo Wei, so she was moved to kill her."
"At this time, Luo Wei has been running around the coastal area, so Tessa couldn't accurately capture Luo Wei's specific location, so she didn't rush to do it."
"But when Luo Wei finished his last business before paying off his debts, he had already begun to discover the fact that he might be targeted."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried hard to calm down, and said involuntarily:
"So, the last call with Xu Juan in the 857 bar in Jiangnan City was actually Luo Wei's last farewell, but Xu Juan didn't realize the seriousness of the problem."
"So that Luo Wei handed over this metal plate to the criminal investigation team of our Furong branch, perhaps giving us some hints about the possible harm he may suffer."
"However, the danger still happened." Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen silently nodded, a little helpless: "It's because we didn't grasp the situation. If we knew Luo Wei was in danger at that time, maybe we could have saved his life, but it's too late to say anything now."
"Eh? Gu Chen, the northern tomb robbers we mentioned in Zhang Jinze's office also mentioned Hejia Village in Gaoquling. Do you think the gang in Hejia Village has some connection with Tessa?" Police Officer Wang said.
"Maybe." Gu Chen also thought about this problem, and while driving, he couldn't help expressing his opinion:
"If Tessa and the villagers of Hejia Village in Gaoquling are all descendants of the northern tomb robbers, then the villagers of Hejia Village may also maintain some kind of connection with Tessa."
"And in this way, I feel that the white-bearded old man He Shaoqing also has a problem."
"You are skeptical. He Shaoqing already knew that Tessa would ask someone to buy that bloody ancient jade, right?" Lu Weiwei could read Gu Chen's inner OS after all.
So when Gu Chen mentioned this, Lu Weiwei could quickly follow her train of thought.
Gu Chen also nodded silently, and echoed, "Senior Sister Lu is right. In fact, I felt a little suspicious when I heard them talk about the transaction process before."
"After all, Tessa sent Xu Feng from the car dealership to buy that piece of Xueqin Ancient Jade alone, so how can Tessa be so sure that Xu Feng will be able to buy it?"
"What if someone buys that bloody ancient jade first?"
"Uh, Gu Chen." Officer Wang scratched his cheeks, and after thinking for a few seconds, he asked Gu Chen, "According to what you mean, then the white-bearded old man He Shaoqing from Hejia Village in Gaoquling may be related to Tai Sha discussed it."
"This piece of ancient blood jade was originally intended for Tessa, right?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and also explained: "Based on what we know so far, Tessa must have been to Hejia Village before, and she also knows that this area has special symbols and totems. The blood-qin ancient jade is in the hands of He Shaoqing."
"So He Shaoqing, on the one hand, organized the villagers to sell all these antiques for cash, and on the other hand, kept the Xueqin ancient jade, and sold them to Xu Feng, who actually came to pick up the goods."
"So it seems that Xu Feng bought this special piece of ancient Xueqin jade and gave it to Tessa as a birthday present."
"It's better to say that Xu Feng was actually just used as a pawn, to serve as an errand between Tessa and He Shaoqing."
"Even if Xu Feng goes or doesn't go, this ancient blood jade with special symbols will fall into Tessa's hands sooner or later."
"That's right." Officer Wang couldn't help snapping his fingers when he heard this: "Tessa is the murderer. Luo Wei's death must have been ordered by Tessa to Liao Zhongkai."
"As for why Liao Zhongkai committed suicide? This may only be solved after Tessa is caught."
After thinking about it, Police Officer Wang suddenly hesitated: "But now, let alone, this Zhang Jinze is indeed a bit unsafe."
"After all, he knows too much. If Tessa is already broken and ready to get rid of everyone who knows, then Zhang Jinze will definitely not stay."
"So we have to notify Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong immediately. We have no choice but to ask Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to do so." Gu Chen said.
Hearing this, Police Officer Wang immediately took out his mobile phone: "I'll make a call now and send Zhang Jinze's information by the way, so that they can stop over immediately."
……
……
Time passed by, Gu Chen drove, and Officer Wang communicated on the phone in the car to deploy tasks.
And Lu Weiwei contacted He Junchao, asking He Junchao to temporarily hand over the task of keeping an eye on Xu Feng to Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe, and He Junchao's focus at this moment should be on keeping an eye on Zhang Jinze. "
Just as everyone communicated and confirmed, the police car slowly drove into the Furong branch.
But when everyone got out of the car and returned to the office, He Junchao raised his head and called out: "Gu Chen, it's too late for you to give orders. Before Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong had time to go over to stay, this Zhang Jinze seems to have run away."
……
In the new week, ask for votes, with a sincere face. ╰(‵ ′)╯
