I am a super cop

Chapter 1876 I'm Not a Murderer 【Two Chapters in One】

Inside the criminal investigation team's office.

No one expected that the first suspect was Liu Jingru who had been in frequent contact with everyone.

You know, everyone and Bai Xiaolan are old acquaintances, how many years of relationship.

But Liu Jingru is Bai Xiaolan's right-hand man, out of emotion, no one will place suspicion on Liu Jingru.

But judging from the murderer's method of committing the crime and his grasp of Zhang Muzhi's situation, if these conditions are not met, then a perfect crime cannot be completed at all.

In other words, if Gu Chen hadn't accidentally met a man who looked quite similar to Xu Yang the day before the incident, he drove to the vicinity of the Jiangnan Lake competition area.

And secretly contacting another mysterious person, Gu Chen will not suspect that this is a murder case.

But the key point is that Gu Chen didn't see the whole picture of the driver clearly at that time, but felt that the side profile was quite similar to Xu Yang.

But afterwards, Gu Chen also asked Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to help him investigate at the captain's bar, and Xu Yang was indeed at the captain's bar that night.

In this way, Xu Yang's suspicion can be ruled out, but the driver of the white car is undoubtedly an important suspect in this case.

But now, the white car was burned and the whereabouts of the suspect are unknown.

Gu Chen was only able to know the diving suit worn by the murderer that night through some well-preserved metal accessories.

So I followed the vine and found the customer who bought the diving suit.

But now, Gu Chen discovered another problem, that is, the suspect seemed to have a hand in it, and did not reveal his appearance while purchasing the equipment.

And to buy these equipment, the woman seemed to have set foot on the spot in advance, and finally chose a store that was in a blind spot of surveillance.

In this way, it is impossible to talk about tracking, because the surrounding area is a monitoring blind spot.

"Where is Liu Jingru now?" Gu Chen asked.

"Maybe she is still in the Jiangnan Lake Division? She needs to train with major clubs these days, so she may stay in the Jiangnan Lake Division." Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen thought for a while, and immediately said to He Junchao: "Senior Brother He, please let me investigate all of these stores in Jiangnan City within the past 10 days."

"That is, within 10 days, has Liu Jingru appeared near the door of these stores, or...she has gone in."

"These stores are all the stores of Porter Diving Equipment Company, and several of them sell this diving equipment."

"If Liu Jingru has appeared at the door of these stores, or has gone in, it can only mean that she may just go to check the location and check the nearby surveillance cameras."

"But in the end, I chose a store within the monitoring blind spot and bought the diving equipment she wanted."

"Understood." He Junchao, the tool man, immediately understood Gu Chen's words.

As Lu Weiwei analyzed just now, the reason why this woman who wrapped herself in the shape of a zongzi chose to buy this set of expensive diving equipment at the Tianxing Road store in the University City must have been considered, mainly because of anti-tracking.

He Junchao, who was in the investigation process, also asked Gu Chen curiously: "At the Tianxing Road store in University City, did the woman pay by mobile phone or cash?"

"Cash." Gu Chen said.

"It seems to be professional." He Junchao also nodded slightly after hearing what Gu Chen said, and said involuntarily:
"She knows that by using her mobile phone, we can trace the purchaser, so she uses cash."

"It seems that this person is really not simple. Could it be that Liu Jingru you mentioned?"

"I hope it's not her." Gu Chen was also suspicious.

After all, when investigating the people around him, he will be a little bit scrupulous. Gu Chen also wants to use his reasonable reasoning to prove that his guess is wrong.

He Junchao's investigation is still going on, while everyone is walking back and forth in the office, anxiously waiting for the final result.

After 15 minutes, He Junchao frowned, fixed his eyes on the screen, and waved to Gu Chen: "Gu... Gu Chen, come here and see if this person is Liu Jingru?"

Hearing He Junchao's speech, everyone including Gu Chen immediately gathered around He Junchao, staring at the computer screen.

"Is it her?" Gu Chen didn't speak, but Police Officer Wang saw the problem, and couldn't help pointing to a young woman wearing a white baseball cap on the surveillance screen, and said:
"This person should be Liu Jingru, even the clothes, pants and shoes are exactly the same, and even the bag on his back is the same."

Officer Wang looked back at Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, and continued to remind: "Lu Weiwei, Xiao Yuan, is Liu Jingru wearing this outfit today?"

"I guess so?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and said in retrospect, "I remember that Liu Jingru was wearing a white knit top, gray ice silk trousers, and a pair of small white shoes today."

"In addition, the baseball cap is also off-white with an 'R' embroidered on it, which should be correct."

After finishing speaking, Lu Weiwei pointed to the young woman's satchel on the surveillance screen and said, "There is also this small satchel, which is also off-white, and the style is almost exactly the same."

"Although she is wearing a white net red mask, she is exactly the same as Liu Jingru today in terms of figure and dress."

"That is to say, the person who appeared in the surveillance is Liu Jingru?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's remarks, Gu Chen was also a little shaken.

After all, Gu Chen has seen this outfit before, and it is almost certain that it is Liu Jingru.

Yuan Shasha hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother He, where is this?"

"The Chengnan Old Street store is the entrance of Porter's diving equipment store, and she seems to have gone in."

He Junchao's voice fell, and the monitoring screen continued to enlarge again.

Although the appearance is not clear, the figure and dress are almost printed from the same mold.

Gu Chen personally clicked on the monitor, and the screen continued to play. A woman suspected of being Liu Jingru walked into the store directly.

But not long after, the woman walked out of the store again, walked towards an alley, and gradually disappeared into the picture.

"Let's see where she went after that?" Officer Wang hurriedly asked.

He Junchao immediately clicked the mouse, and began to check the surrounding surveillance according to the woman's walking route.

However, to everyone's shock, Liu Jingru visited almost all Porter's diving equipment stores that afternoon.

Although the other stores did not go in, the woman looked outside, as if observing the surrounding monitoring distribution.

Afterwards, He Junchao continued to call other surveillance cameras to piece together the woman's path completely.

"That's right, it's her." After He Junchao called out the last monitoring segment, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Did you see that? Not only did this woman go near those stores, but in the end, she went directly to Jiangnan TV Station at night. Who would you say she is?"

"It's really her? Liu Jingru is the one who bought the diving equipment?" Seeing this scene, Lu Weiwei murmured before recovering from the trance:
"That is to say, she is the murderer?"

Gu Chen also has a serious expression at this moment, it seems that a major breakthrough has been made in the whole case, at least everyone's previous speculation has been verified here.

If the conditions for murdering Zhang Muzhi need to be met, Liu Jingru's first few items are almost all occupied.

But now, the last part of buying diving equipment, that is, the woman wrapped in rice dumplings, disappeared in the blind spot of monitoring after buying diving equipment.

But after everyone's reasoning, it was indeed found that Liu Jingru had visited these stores selling diving equipment 5 days ago.

What does this mean?It shows that Lu Weiwei's guess is completely correct.

Liu Jingru was indeed stepping on surveillance, and finally chose to buy equipment at the Tianxing Road store in University City to avoid surveillance.

Although it was said that Zhang Muzhi's death was too strange, it was difficult to find other possibilities, but Gu Chen saw through it.

If it was an ordinary murderer, he might not pay much attention to the process of purchasing equipment, but this murderer was obviously too cautious.

Even before buying equipment, they are careful to step on the spot, so as not to expose themselves.

Especially the burning of the white car, which directly shocked Gu Chen.

In order to destroy the evidence, what can't the murderer do?
Now that he has the surveillance footage of Liu Jingru's steps in his hand, Gu Chen feels that it seems reasonable to call Liu Jingru to the police station for questioning.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen turned his head and said, "Take..."

"Bring Liu Jingru back to the police station." Before Gu Chen could speak, Officer Wang answered and said:

"This Liu Jingru is now a serious suspect. Except that she doesn't know Zhang Muzhi, almost all the conditions are met."

"Besides, she said she didn't know her if she didn't know her? What if she knew her, and she just pretended not to know her?"

"Senior brother Wang is right. The most important thing now is to call Liu Jingru to the police station as soon as possible to clarify the matter." Yuan Shasha also felt that Liu Jingru beside her was still a hidden boss?
After all, to kill Zhang Muzhi in the lake requires precise planning, and the murderer must have a well-thought-out plan.

This kind of strong coordination ability is not something ordinary people can achieve, but the only thing is that they must master the corresponding resources.

Just like Liu Jingru, she took the initiative to take over the task of connecting with major clubs, so the training plans of all clubs had to be coordinated by Liu Jingru.

In this way, she has the conditions to commit the crime, and she can control Zhang Muzhi's work and rest situation in her own hands.

Without thinking too much, Gu Chen took out his cell phone and called Ding Liang.

……

……

2:40pm.

Furong Sub-bureau, Interrogation Room No. [-].

When Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were sitting in front of the interrogation chair, doing the final work of sorting out the documents, the door of the room was suddenly opened.

Liu Jingru was brought in by Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong.

Seeing everyone, Liu Jingru also looked confused, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen: "Senior Gu Chen, why did you call me over from the Jiangnan Lake stadium in such a hurry? Do you know how busy I am now?"

Obviously, Liu Jingru's current role is still in the process of coordinating the work of major clubs, and it seems that she has not yet come out of this role.

Gu Chen glanced at Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong.

The two of them understood in seconds, they directly exited the interrogation room, and gently closed the door.

"Liu Jingru, sit down first, we have something important to ask you." Gu Chen pointed to the interrogation chair in front of him.

Seeing this special chair, Liu Jingru froze on the spot, as if she felt something was wrong?
Looking up and looking around, Liu Jingru realized that she had entered an interrogation room.

The eight eye-catching characters of "Confessions are lenient and resistance is strict" are hung above Gu Chen and the others.

Liu Jingru can see it just by looking up.

Seeing this posture, Liu Jingru panicked immediately, and asked weakly, "Gu... Senior Gu Chen, you... who are you?"

"Don't be nervous, sit down first." Gu Chen stretched out his hand again to signal.

But this said, Liu Jingru became even more nervous.

Usually, Liu Jingru gets along very well with everyone. It can be said that she gave the representative team of the Furong Branch Bureau a nanny-style care service.

But now, everyone has changed their previous enthusiasm, and their faces have become grim.

Especially when Liu Jingru walked into the room just now, no one made any movement, and she was taken to the police station by Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, and she only said that she was asked to come to assist in the investigation, mainly about Zhang Muzhi's drowning last night.

Reluctantly walking to the interrogation chair, Liu Jingru sat down slowly.

Gu Chen took the initiative to walk to the water dispenser, poured a cup of tea for Liu Jingru, brought it to her in person, and said comfortingly:

"Don't be nervous, we just want to understand the situation with you, you just need to tell us everything you know, understand?"

"Ming...Understood." Taking the tea from Gu Chen, Liu Jingru put both hands in her hands, and couldn't help taking a sip.

I just feel that today's Gu Chen is very different, without the enthusiasm before, it seems to be relatively unfamiliar.

Seeing Yuan Shasha turn on the camera, Gu Chen asked, "Liu Jingru, report your ID number."

"Oh, my ID number is..."

According to Gu Chen's request, Liu Jingru disclosed all her personal information.

Gu Chen also recorded these, and continued to ask: "You have always been in charge of the training arrangements for the major clubs participating in the competition, right?"

"That's right, didn't you know?" Liu Jingru felt baffled, after all, Gu Chen and the others had been staying with her these days.

Gu Chen is very clear about his own work arrangements, but why do he need to ask extra questions?

Seeing that Liu Jingru was a little emotional, Gu Chen calmed down and said, "Don't get me wrong, our conversation is being videotaped. We need to confirm some things. When we ask, you just need to answer honestly. Do you understand?"

"Ming...Understood." Gu Chen felt that he was quite clear when he said this.

That is, the conversation is used as evidence, recorded in the camera, and used as a reference for investigation.

Gu Chen continued to ask: "Can you adjust the training arrangements among the major clubs at will?"

"Uh, it depends on the situation." Liu Jingru also entered the state instantly, and said slowly:

"For example, if major clubs want to come to the field for training, they need to apply in advance."

"Because there are more clubs coming to Jiangnan City now, generally we only accept applications two days in advance."

"But in some cases, for example, during the evening, the training arrangement has ended, so there is still some free time."

"And during this period of time, I can make additional arrangements to keep the staff from turning off the lights and give some extra training to the FPV racing pilots. I still have the right to do so."

Hearing what Liu Jingru said, Gu Chen actually knew it too, but he just needed to go through the procedures and record these questions completely.

Turning the pen with his right hand, Gu Chen looked up at Liu Jingru in front of him, and said seriously, "Liu Jingru, did you and Zhang Muzhi... know each other before?"

"I don't know you." Liu Jingru shook her head and said inexplicably, "Senior Gu Chen, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

"Because... Judging from the current situation, Zhang Muzhi did not simply die by drowning." Gu Chen also tried his best to calm down, trying to communicate with Liu Jingru in a gentle way.

"Isn't it an ordinary drowning death?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Liu Jingru was also stunned, but continued to ask Gu Chen: "Then what does Senior Gu Chen mean?"

"Let me tell you this." Gu Chen put down the pen, put his hands together, and said calmly:
"Zhang Muzhi was probably dragged into the water by people wearing professional diving equipment."

"Due to being caught off guard and without oxygen support, his breathing rhythm was quickly disrupted. Coupled with the blessing of the night, he was powerless to resist in the water, and soon drowned to death."

"No... no way?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Jingru frowned slightly, as if feeling incredible.

What everyone saw on the shore before, Liu Jingru was even earlier than Gu Chen.

But now Gu Chen actually told himself that Zhang Muzhi did not simply drown to death, but was killed by someone in the lake.

This statement seems to overturn Liu Jingru's previous imagination.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Liu Jingru also asked Gu Chen tremblingly: "Senior Gu Chen, how did you know? Do you have evidence?"

"Let's make a long story short." Gu Chen didn't write any words, and blurted out directly: "The night before Zhang Muzhi's accident, after I sent you back to Jiangnan TV Station, I ran into a white car."

"I saw that the driver's profile looks quite similar to Xu Yang, so I followed him unexpectedly."

"In this way, I followed the white car to the vicinity of the Jiangnan Lake Stadium, which is near the shore where Zhang Muzhi's accident occurred."

"You...what did you say? You came to the Jiangnan Lake Stadium one day earlier? But...but why didn't you tell me?" Feeling that Gu Chen seemed to have something to hide from her, Liu Jingru suddenly felt that she had paid by mistake .

Every day, he worked hard like a bee, providing nanny-style matchmaking for the representative team of the Furong branch, but Gu Chen actually kept this matter from himself.

But Gu Chen also had his own point of view, and quickly explained: "Because the situation at the time was not allowed, based on my experience in handling cases over the past few years, I felt that something was wrong with that white car, so I followed it all the time."

"But I can tell you very clearly that I didn't know at the time that the place where the white car stopped and the place where the driver went was the place where Zhang Muzhi's accident happened."

"Because at that time, I only felt that the driver's appearance was quite similar to Xu Yang, and with this white car, I always felt a little weird, so I followed him all the way."

"Later, it was also found nearby that the driver had connected with a mysterious person, and then left quietly."

"Although I didn't know at the time, what was the background of these two people? But the next day, I confirmed Xu Yang's whereabouts and found that he had been in the captain's bar all night and had never left."

"So, Zhang Muzhi had an accident last night, and you suspect that person harmed him?" Listening to Gu Chen's narration, Liu Jingru seemed to be able to understand a little bit.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and said again: "That's right, I also found out after investigating the location of Zhang Muzhi's accident last night that the area where his accident occurred was exactly the place where the two mysterious people met the day before."

"So, this aroused my suspicion, and, according to the investigation of Zhang Muzhi's body, we found that Zhang Muzhi had a painful expression before his death, and seemed to be struggling violently."

"But it's very strange. In the middle of the night, whenever Zhang Muzhi yelled 'Help', the people on the shore could hear it completely, but Zhang Muzhi didn't make any movement. What does this mean?"

"Say... explain..."

Under Gu Chen's guidance, Liu Jingru seemed to be substituted into it, and said slowly: "It means that Zhang Muzhi at that time might not be able to speak underwater?"

"That's right, that diver is involved." As soon as Liu Jingru finished speaking, Lu Weiwei, who was sitting next to Gu Chen, answered directly:
"Because of the appearance of divers, they took advantage of their own equipment and pulled the unprepared Zhang Muzhi into the water, causing Zhang Muzhi to suffocate and die instantly."

"Then, the murderer quietly swam along the shore, using the cover of the night, to leave the scene quietly."

"Do you have evidence?" Listening to Lu Weiwei's remarks, Liu Jingru was suddenly curious.

On the opposite side, Yuan Shasha turned on the display screen on the side of the interrogation room, and put all the forensic photos taken by Gu Chen and Officer Wang on the scene that night on the screen.

Officer Wang randomly picked up the laser pointer, circled the photo and said, "Did you see it? This is the picture we took at the scene last night."

"It can be seen from these obvious drag marks that someone has come ashore from this location, and the drag marks are new, with impressions similar to flippers."

Lying on the seat, Officer Wang said again: "Flippers are obviously standard equipment for diving equipment, so we found out through this that the murderer is likely to be wearing diving equipment and sneaked into the waters of Jiangnan Lake."

"And using the cover of the night, drowned the unprepared Zhang Muzhi in the lake, and then fled the scene from this location."

In order to show it more intuitively, Yuan Shasha continued to switch screens.

At this moment, it is a satellite map of a crime scene.

There are red arrows on the map to mark the walking track.

Gu Chen also explained: "After committing the crime, the murderer fled the scene with his equipment, and fled directly on the side of the road in a white car."

"It's worth noting that this white car is the one I met on the road the night before."

"What is certain is that the driver of this white car must have visited here the day before, and the goal is very clear. It is Zhang Muzhi."

"So that's the case?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Liu Jingru also suddenly realized, but she raised her head and asked again:

"Then if the murderer is the driver of the white car, have you found the driver?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "We were tracking all the way last night, but suddenly found that the white car was burned to a skeleton by a raging fire in an open space by the side of the road."

"Burn it?" Feeling a bit unbelievable, Liu Jingru was also surprised, and quickly asked: "So, this is the murderer destroying the evidence?"

Hearing these words from Liu Jingru's mouth, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha looked at each other in blank dismay.

You know, Liu Jingru is now the suspect. Although there is no final verification, judging from the current situation, she is undoubtedly the most suspected.

But from Liu Jingru's mouth, she said that the murderer was destroying the evidence, and the style of the painting felt a bit inconsistent.

Police Officer Wang coughed twice, and said hastily: "Yes, the murderer is indeed destroying the evidence, trying to burn all the tools of the crime, which can be said to be a waste of money."

"After all, a car and a set of diving equipment cost a lot of money, but the murderer did it."

With a faint sigh, Police Officer Wang also said with a light smile: "But there are thousands of calculations. Although the murderer is cunning, there are still loopholes."

"Is there a flaw?" Looking very interesting, Liu Jingru also looked at Police Officer Wang with a cute face, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of flaw is it?"

"It's this." Officer Wang didn't say anything, but Gu Chen showed the metal parts wrapped in a transparent evidence collection bag in front of Liu Jingru, and explained:
"We were at the scene and found the wreckage of these items. Because the metal is resistant to high temperatures, even though all the items on the car were burned to ashes, the metal parts were still intact."

"Also, we used the letter numbers on the metal fittings to quickly find the manufacturer, which is a local company in Jiangnan City."

After a pause, seeing Liu Jingru listening intently, Gu Chen continued to explain: "In addition, according to the sales channels provided by this company, we found that this company has several stores in Jiangnan City that sell diving equipment with this kind of parts. equipment."

"So we followed the lead and finally found the suspect who recently bought diving equipment at the store."

Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Yuan Shasha had already put the surveillance screenshots on one side of the screen.

"This is the person." Gu Chen pointed in the direction of the screen.

Liu Jingru was also in a daze, she couldn't help but look twice, and hurriedly asked: "Is this the murderer?"

"It can be counted." Lu Weiwei said.

"Then did you catch her?" Liu Jingru asked again.

However, at this time, everyone just looked at each other and remained silent.

Liu Jingru felt that the atmosphere was weird, and found that everyone seemed to be looking at her in the wrong way.

Then think of his current situation, the surrounding environment, and the police who brought him here.

Liu Jingru suddenly realized, and said, "You mean, this person is me?"

"Liu Jingru." Seeing that Liu Jingru was flustered, Gu Chen also confirmed and asked her: "Then this person is you?"

"It's not me, how could it be me?" Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Liu Jingru was so anxious that she immediately retorted:
"Why am I dressed like this?"

"Of course you don't usually dress like this, but dressing like this can conceal your true identity." Seeing Liu Jingru's dissatisfaction, Lu Weiwei also reminded her.

Liu Jingru shook her head like a rattle, and she said aggrievedly: "Sister Weiwei, how can you say that about me? This person can't see his face clearly, why do you think this person is me?"

"Uh, Liu Jingru." Seeing that Liu Jingru, who has taken good care of everyone for many days, was about to be asked and cried by everyone, Police Officer Wang hurriedly said a few words of comfort:
"Don't be so excited, let me tell you, the reason why this person..."

"The reason why this person wraps himself tightly is actually to prevent his appearance from being exposed."

Before Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen interjected directly, "And this person bought all the diving equipment in cash, which means that she doesn't want to reveal her identity because of the mobile phone payment."

"From this point of view, this woman is very cautious. When buying diving equipment, it can be said that she has taken great pains."

"What does that mean? Does it mean that this person is me?" Liu Jingru retorted weakly with red eyes at the moment.

It seemed that he wanted to refute Gu Chen, but his voice was too weak.

Gu Chen also lowered his tone, and said slowly: "Liu Jingru, don't worry, listen to me, the reason why this woman chose to come to the Tianxing Road store in University City to buy this set of diving equipment is actually very particular."

"Based on the store owner's recollection, it seems that as soon as the woman came to the store, she went directly to the diving equipment storage area."

"You know, in this store, this set of professional diving equipment is placed in an inconspicuous position, but this woman was able to enter the store and go straight to the equipment."

"It can be seen that she has visited here before, and her purpose is very clear. As for why she came to this store to buy? That is because there are surveillance blind spots around."

"Once the woman makes the purchase, she can evade these roadside surveillance and figure out a way to get the gear out."

Seeing that Liu Jingru seemed to be engrossed in listening, Gu Chen tried hard to calm down, and then said:
"And this set of equipment comes from Porter Diving Equipment Company. They not only have a store near Tianxing Road in University City, but also have stores in other places in the city."

"But it's weird..."

In the middle of speaking, Gu Chen looked directly at the side screen.

And Yuan Shasha also cooperated very much, and projected the street scene of Liu Jingru's appearance captured by the surveillance on the screen.

In an instant, Liu Jingru's eyes were taken aback by the photos made up of several jigsaw puzzles.

"Is this scene familiar?" Lu Weiwei asked.

But Liu Jingru scratched the back of her head, a little confused, and said, "These places... look familiar."

"Xiao Yuan." Hearing Liu Jingru's remarks, Gu Chen continued to remind Yuan Shasha.

"Understood." Yuan Shasha nodded silently, and quickly opened the satellite map.

In an instant, the positions of the picture where Liu Jingru appeared corresponded to several areas on the map.

Gu Chen also continued: "These places are all stores for Porter's diving equipment, and in these stores, the same professional diving equipment is sold."

"But you, Liu Jingru, happened to appear near every store. I just want to ask you, what are you doing in these places?"

"I... I'm just helping people to buy things?" Feeling suspected by Gu Chen, Liu Jingru felt uncomfortable.

She also sniffed, and continued to explain: "My colleague told me that day to help her buy something, and she told me that the addresses might be these places, so I went to have a look."

"But I don't know, how could it be photographed by you? I don't know, why are there diving equipment for sale in these places?"

"Shopping for someone? What to buy?" Gu Chen felt that Liu Jingru had other ideas.

Liu Jingru was also aggrieved, and said involuntarily: "My colleague asked me to help her buy sporting goods. She was going to go by herself, but because of work, there was something temporary, so she entrusted me to buy it."

With a sob, Liu Jingru said again: "After all, I am an intern who has just joined the work. I definitely dare not refuse to agree to the task that this old colleague has arranged for me. Although it is troublesome, it can also help others."

"What sporting goods?" Gu Chen asked again.

"It's a table tennis racket." Liu Jingru sniffed, and continued to explain: "Because she belongs to the Table Tennis Association. Recently, their association wants to play a game and needs to purchase a batch of table tennis rackets for professional competitions."

"This was originally her own business. Isn't it because she couldn't leave because of something? It happened that I was fine that day, so she told me to let me help her do the shopping and transfer the money to me later."

"Moreover, she specifically asked that it must be of that brand, and asked me to go around these places, saying that it might be sold in these places."

"This colleague of yours, how can she be sure that this kind of racket is sold in these places?" Lu Weiwei was also very curious, and asked one more question.

Liu Jingru hurriedly explained: "She also heard about it, so I followed her request and went to these places to look for it."

"But it's a pity that in these places, although the stores selling sporting goods are all next to each other, I went door-to-door and asked, but I didn't get the desired result, but I can't just buy other brands."

"So, that afternoon, I actually returned without success. When I finally returned to the TV station, I explained the situation to my colleague, and she didn't blame me."

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jingru said helplessly, "So, I don't know why you suspect that I killed Zhang Muzhi? It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

"Liu Jingru, calm down." Seeing that Liu Jingru was agitated at the moment, Police Officer Wang also said soothingly:

"Even if what you said is true, we still need to verify the authenticity, just like we verified whether Xu Yang was in the captain's bar that night. Isn't this a process?"

"Besides, you suddenly appeared near these stores selling professional diving equipment. Who do you suspect?"

"but I……"

"Liu Jingru." Before Liu Jingru finished speaking here, Gu Chen interrupted directly: "Even if what you said makes sense, you were indeed helping a colleague buy sporting goods temporarily that day, so you passed by these stores by chance."

"The deceased murdered Zhang Muzhi. This kind of thing needs to be carefully arranged. First of all, the murderer must be very familiar with Zhang Muzhi's training schedule."

"From the murderer's purchase of diving equipment many days ago, it is not difficult to see that the drowning of Zhang Muzhi last night seems to have been planned a long time ago."

"It can be seen that the murderer has long expected that she will be able to kill Zhang Muzhi in the waters around the Jiangnan Lake stadium. Why is she so confident? Have you thought about it carefully?"

"I'm not Conan, how do I know?" When asked by Gu Chen, Liu Jingru was also aggrieved and retorted.

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said again: "Then let me tell you, the murderer planned it so carefully, it is obvious that the murderer had a well-thought-out plan long ago."

"It can be seen that the murderer is very familiar with the location of the competition venue, and the only person who can know the location of the competition venue several days in advance is the staff of your organizer."

"Furthermore, to murder Zhang Muzhi quietly in the lake, one more condition needs to be met, and that is to use the night as a cover, because the murder during the day will inevitably be discovered by people on the shore."

"So, the murderer arranged the time for committing the crime in his own favor at night, but why is the murderer so confident that Zhang Muzhi will definitely swim in the water at night?"

Seeing that Liu Jingru couldn't answer, Gu Chen asked and answered by himself, "Because the murderer can control all of Zhang Muzhi's training time."

"Also as you said, you can make reasonable arrangements, or even temporarily adjust some night training time, because these are outside the normal training time."

"So, how to adjust Zhang Muzhi's training time, only you who are in charge of the docking have the most say, don't you?"

"But...but I..."

Liu Jingru suddenly wanted to refute a few words, but when she looked back, what Gu Chen said didn't seem to be unreasonable, she was speechless and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Liu Jingru." Seeing that Liu Jingru kept silent, Lu Weiwei continued to ask: "Is there anyone in your work group who can arrange Zhang Muzhi's training time at night? No?"

"But you are in a sensitive period, appearing in a store that sells professional diving equipment, and you can adjust Zhang Muzhi's training time at night at any time."

"As for this kind of coincidence, can you say it's a coincidence? It doesn't seem to be a coincidence, does it?"

"It's not like that, no." Dumbfounded by Lu Weiwei's question, Liu Jingru immediately felt powerless to refute, but she looked aggrieved.

He also sniffed, and continued to defend himself: "Although what you said is correct, how do I know that Zhang Muzhi will definitely go swimming at night? But I didn't know Zhang Muzhi at all before? I didn't murderer."

"No." Hearing Liu Jingru's remarks, Police Officer Wang retorted directly: "You said you didn't know each other before? You have to show your own evidence."

"You have to say, is it accurate to judge their original relationship based on the current situation?"

"Without evidence, everything is nonsense."
