I am a super cop

Chapter 2220 Trust and Coercion

Originally, everyone didn't think this matter was too complicated. Before, I felt that Zhou Xiaotong's disappearance was more like a case of being cheated by netizens.

But now, it seems that every step Zhou Xiaotong took when he came to Jiangnan City was tinged with mystery.

Communication between these people has its own special way.

For example, in the hut in the forest, for example, let Zhang Da take Zhou Xiaotong to dinner. In addition, there is a deep grievance between Zhang Da and Zhuang Qiang.

It just so happened that Zhuang Qiang's apprentice, that is, He Xu, was the most likely suspect for Zhou Xiaotong's disappearance.

But in this way, everyone seems to be involved.

There seems to be some kind of shocking secret hidden behind a mysteriously missing Zhou Xiaotong.

Originally, Gu Chen had already found out these suspects one by one.

But now, it seems that the situation has become more complicated.

"Junior Brother Gu, who do you think this person could be?" Lu Weiwei asked anxiously.

"It's not clear yet." Gu Chen rubbed his hands on his face, reminding him:
"First of all, you need to know that it was Zhuang Qiang who asked He Xu to come to the owner's house of the spicy strip factory to pick up things. Then, if there was no such thing, Zhuang Qiang would not have come to the spicy strip factory between 9:11 and [-]:[-] p.m. nearby."

"But if He Xu doesn't come, then the monitoring at the door of the owner of the hot strip factory won't be damaged for no reason."

"So, the whole incident seems to be carefully planned behind the scenes."

"But tracing back to the source, it's still Zhuang Qiang."

"That's right." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei also echoed:
"Without that text message, nothing after that would have happened."

"If this is the case, then after He Xu secretly followed us, he has a basis for exoneration."

"Because there is no surveillance in all locations to capture He Xu's movements, which is too weird."

"Forget about that." Gu Chen took a deep breath, and said with a heavy face, "Zhuang Qiang, it seems that this person is not simple."

"Then we should go to Zhuang Qiang immediately." Lu Weiwei said.

But Gu Chen waved his hand and refused: "Now is not a good time. In my opinion, if Zhuang Qiang is a member of this gang, then he must have his own set of arguments."

"At that time, if he categorically denies it, we can't do anything to him."

"Then let them get away with it like this?" Lu Weiwei became more and more angry now, feeling that everyone had fallen into a trap.

Especially He Xu in the house, insisting that he is innocent, but the key point is that you clearly know that this matter is related to him, but you can't do anything to him.

When did Lu Weiwei suffer from being dumb like this?So I was extremely upset.

Gu Chen smiled lightly, and quickly comforted Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, don't worry, you forgot? We still have something in our hands."

"You mean..." Lu Weiwei thought for a few seconds, and suddenly realized: "Yes, we still have that bottle."

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded in agreement: "Since it is difficult to make a breakthrough here, it is better to let it go and take the physical evidence for testing and investigation, maybe there will be a new breakthrough."

"If we can verify that the fingerprints on the empty beverage bottles are related to Zhou Xiaotong, then it won't be too late for us to send people over to investigate."

"Because of this dense forest, I feel that it is difficult for us to gain anything."

"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen had said this, Lu Weiwei no longer struggled, and agreed, "I'll just listen to you. Let's go to the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau first and ask Gao Chuanfeng for help."

The two quickly reached a tacit understanding.

Since there is no other better evidence in everyone's hands, Gu Chen asked Police Officer Wang in the house to copy the video before the surveillance was damaged, and checked the surveillance footage of the Latiao Factory in the past few days before leaving quickly. Go to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau.

……

……

It was already 8:30 in the morning when several people came to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau.

When Gao Chuanfeng watched Gu Chen and the others come to the door, he was taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked: "Gu Chen, you guys came here early in the morning, could it be..."

"To make a long story short, we have a fingerprint sample for you to test." Gu Chen didn't say much, and immediately took out the empty drink bottle, reminding him:
"Help us take a fingerprint sample from the beverage bottle."

"It's easy to say." Seeing that Gu Chen only needed a fingerprint sample, Gao Chuanfeng didn't hesitate, took the transparent evidence collection bag from Lu Weiwei's hand, and immediately walked towards the testing room.

Officer Wang followed behind and reminded, "Also, this fingerprint, help us compare it with the fingerprint sample of a girl in Haidong City."

"No problem, the relevant database can be found." Gao Chuanfeng said calmly.

Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and I was grateful to Dade just to let myself help to detect fingerprints instead of dissecting the corpse.

An hour later, when Gao Chuanfeng walked to the waiting room with the notebook, Gu Chen, who squinted his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and asked, "How?"

"Gu Chen, the fingerprint sample you asked me to compare..."

"How?" Lu Weiwei asked impatiently before Gao Chuanfeng finished speaking.

"It's exactly the same. The fingerprint sample on this empty beverage bottle belongs to Zhou Xiaotong." Gao Chuanfeng said.

After the words fell, the three people who were resting immediately stood up at the same time.

Officer Wang also widened his eyes and said, "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true." Gao Chuanfeng said.

"Oh my god." Police officer Wang touched his face, but also said with a look of horror: "Then, this Zhou Xiaotong really came to that forest?"

"Moreover, Zhou Xiaotong probably saw the totems in the jungle hut to guide him to the direction of the valley."

"However, she was going out at night. A girl came to a different place and ran to the forest in the middle of the night. She can guarantee that she can find her way? Does she have this experience of going deep into the forest?"

"She didn't." Hearing Officer Wang's remarks, Gu Chen directly denied, "But He Xu did."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei also took a step forward and said, "Of course this Zhou Xiaotong has no experience in traversing a strange jungle independently, especially when going to a strange city and traversing a strange jungle at night."

"The only possibility is that there was a local jungle expert waiting for her as a guide in this jungle."

"And Zhou Xiaotong is also very familiar with this guide. The two of them at least know each other."

"In this way, Zhou Xiaotong can follow the guide with complete trust, walk into the jungle, and come to the area we are searching for."

"So, the guy who brought Zhou Xiaotong into the jungle was He Xu?" Officer Wang also quickly thought of He Xu based on the results of everyone's previous investigation.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said involuntarily:

"Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that it is He Xu, but the troublesome thing is that He Xu had proof of his alibi last night."

"The key is his proof. We can't prove the authenticity. We can't judge at all whether he was really near the Latiao factory during the time last night."

"Moreover, the most important thing is that there are people behind him helping him to destroy the surveillance system. This is obviously a conspiracy."

"Don't talk about it, it must be Zhuang Qiang." Officer Wang shook his right index finger, and he said in a bad mood:
"This Zhuang Qiang, no matter how you look at it, he feels like an old fox. He was sent to prison for killing people by mistake before, but now that he comes out, I feel that this guy is not doing his duty."

"Let his inmate He Xu be his partner and apprentice. In my opinion, these two people seem to be working together, and they have been engaged in some illegal activities."

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, Officer Wang also said in a bad mood:
"I just don't have evidence yet, otherwise, I'd have to arrest these two guys."

"Old Wang, don't get excited, everyone has a good layout, we came to investigate later, how can we play better than others."

"That's right, Senior Sister Lu is right." Seeing that Police Officer Wang was a little frustrated, Gu Chen also took a step forward and said comfortingly:
"These people have obvious plans. No matter where we investigate, it seems that these people have already predicted in advance."

"So, they created an alibi for themselves on all the leads we investigated."

"Even if they meet the conditions for committing the crime, if we don't have evidence to prove it, or if they have enough evidence to assume an alibi for themselves, and it happens that we have no way to prove it, then this is what they want effect achieved."

"But they overlooked one point. Any perfect cover-up is precisely exposing yourself."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and said angrily:

"I wondered before, everyone's statement is almost watertight, no matter how you look at it, it seems true."

"But now that I think about it, how can there be so many coincidences? The relationship between this Zhou Xiaotong and them may be a gang relationship."

Turning to look at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei said again: "Brother Gu, have you forgotten? Zhou Xiaotong came from Jiangnan City on the same high-speed train as us. On the high-speed train, I always feel that there is something wrong with the things she told us. .”

"She said that she came to Jiangnan City to look for a job, but she said it calmly, and that night, she ran into a strange jungle in the middle of the night. I feel that she should have met Zhang Da when she was having dinner in the restaurant of Cyclops. A connection was made."

"And this Zhang Da passed some news to Zhou Xiaotong, which caused Zhou Xiaotong to run to the forest in the back mountain late at night."

"If, I mean if, if Zhou Xiaotong hadn't had dinner with Zhang Da, then she might not have gone to Houshan Forest that night, because Zhou Xiaotong had reserved a room for nearly a week."

"In her current state, she will definitely not spend money extravagantly. She will definitely save money. There is no need to book hotels for so many days for herself as soon as she comes here."

"That's right." Hearing Lu Weiwei's explanation, Gu Chen snapped his fingers, also reminding him:
"The detail that Senior Sister Lu said is very important. Note that Zhou Xiaotong booked a room for more than a week, but she just arrived in Jiangnan City and didn't even stay for one night, so she ran to the back mountain."

"This shows that when she booked a hotel room for more than a week, she didn't know what she was going to do next here?"

"And after she went out to eat for so long, she is obviously in contact with Zhang Da."

"And after that, she might get a next task from Zhang Da."

"So, according to the agreed time, she came to the back mountain late at night, and at this moment, there may be a guide waiting for her in the back mountain."

"And this guide may be Zhang Da, or He Xu, Zhuang Qiang's apprentice."

"In short, this guide must exist."

The voice fell, and the waiting room was silent.

It was also a few seconds later that Police Officer Wang folded his hands on his chest, nodded slightly and came to them, saying:

"Gu Chen, your analysis, I've thought about it carefully, is indeed in line with a normal person's code of conduct."

"As far as Zhou Xiaotong booked the room, she booked a room for more than a week at a time. It can be seen that Zhou Xiaotong came here because she knew she would have to stay for many days."

"But after coming here, I found that I might have to go to the next location immediately."

"But it's impossible to just leave the room just booked. From a certain objective point of view, she doesn't know the other party's intention."

"However, Zhou Xiaotong may have had contact with this group a long time ago, otherwise he would not have come to the appointment immediately after receiving the invitation letter."

"How much do you trust the other party? Or, how familiar are you with the other party?"

"Senior Brother Wang's words reminded me." As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen also flicked his fingers, and after walking back and forth in front of everyone twice, he raised his head and said:

"We ignored this point. Zhou Xiaotong must have had contact with these people in Jiangnan City, and these people have also gained Zhou Xiaotong's trust."

"For a shrewd woman like Zhou Xiaotong, she would not take the risk of doing such unreliable things unless there are two reasons."

"Which two reasons?" Gao Chuanfeng, the forensic doctor standing aside, listened to several people discussing the case for a long time, but he couldn't get in the conversation, and couldn't figure out the specific situation, so he asked anxiously.

Gu Chen replied straightforwardly: "First, Zhou Xiaotong and these people are very good friends. They have come into contact with each other because of certain things before, and they trust each other very much."

"So, when Zhou Xiaotong received the invitation letter, he hurried to Jiangnan City to attend the appointment and fulfill his promise."

"What about the second one?" Gao Chuanfeng asked again.

Gu Chen paused, and said unhurriedly: "The second thing is that Zhou Xiaotong has some tricks in the hands of the other party, and is restrained by the other party, or threatened."

"So I had no choice but to listen to the other party's request. When I learned that the other party asked me to come to Jiangnan City to complete a certain task, Zhou Xiaotong had no choice but to agree."

"But I don't know what exactly I need to do? That's why I booked a hotel room for more than a week in a daze."

Sighing softly, Gu Chen also shook his head helplessly: "Obviously, Zhou Xiaotong thought he would stay here for more than a week, or even longer."
