I am a super cop

Chapter 2291 Loyalty Test
In the interrogation room, after hearing Xu Peiwen's narration, Gu Chen suddenly felt that the information everyone had before was still too one-sided.

I always thought that Xu Peiwen and Huang Zhigang, as the backbone members of this criminal gang, were arrested, and the case from many years ago would basically be closed.

But the sudden appearance of Lord Tiger and the forest rangers from the Northeast Forest Farm made Gu Chen uncomfortable for a while.

Gu Chen stretched out his hand and reminded him, "You continue talking."

"Yeah." Xu Peiwen nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "I said earlier that we and the ranger had the right code."

"What's the password?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked.

Xu Peiwen shook his head: "It's been decades, I've forgotten it a long time ago, anyway, it's some kind of slogan, if it matches, it's my own people."

Seeing Xu Peiwen's serious face, Police Officer Wang also flicked the writing pen and said, "You continue."

"Oh!" Xu Peiwen nodded silently, and continued to think about it:
"I remember that at that time, everyone had nowhere to go, and it didn't matter where they went anyway."

"Instead of staying in the mining area and being arrested, it is better to hide in a remote area and try to feel at ease."

"It was at that time that the forest ranger settled us temporarily in that cabin."

"I remember that it was a cold winter, it was unbearably cold outside, and the temperature dropped very quickly."

"Huang Zhigang and I didn't dare to go out because we didn't bring any clothes."

"But in those days, this old forest ranger has been doing his own job. Every day, he takes tools, rides a horse, and goes to the forest area to inspect."

"Going out during the day and returning home at night, it goes on and on again and again, it feels quite leisurely."

"Then he didn't take you to see Lord Tiger?" Lu Weiwei felt something was wrong and reminded her.

Xu Peiwen shook his head: "Damn it, he works over and over again every day, so he just left me and Huang Zhigang alone."

"We didn't know what was going on at the time? So, one day, the forest ranger came home very late, and when he got home, it was already dark."

"I remember, it was still snowing outside, so I asked him, when will he take us to see Lord Tiger?"

"Then what did he say?" Gu Chen asked.

Xu Peiwen shook his head: "He didn't say anything? Even if he told us, he couldn't tell when Lord Tiger would come. He might come the next day, he might have to wait for a week, or he might have to wait for ten days and a half months. "

"So long?" Lu Weiwei said angrily when she heard this:

"Is this guy playing tricks on you?"

"I think so too." Xu Peiwen nodded silently, and said involuntarily: "I was anxious at the time, and told the forest ranger, are you kidding us?"

"I told him that we are going to see Master Hu now, but the uncle told us that it doesn't matter where we go now, it's better to stay here and live a peaceful life."

"He said that even if we go out, we may be caught by the police. Moreover, Mr. Hu has always been very secretive in his whereabouts. It is very difficult to find him. Usually, he is the only one who looks for someone. It is useless for others to look for him."

"So, after Huang Zhigang and I talked it over together, I felt that what the old man said made sense."

"Anyway, at that time, we just wanted to find a clean place to avoid the limelight. It doesn't matter where we go, whether there is Master Tiger or not."

"Since there is a shelter now, and no one disturbs it, why not be happy?"

"Besides, the old man's place has all kinds of food, and he didn't say that he would charge us money, so we'll live there with good food and drink."

"Then you have always planned to stay there and not go to find Lord Tiger, so you have been dominated by that old man?" Lu Weiwei heard this, and it was obvious that this forest ranger uncle seemed to be very serious.

But Xu Peiwen said indifferently: "I can't help it, comrade policewoman, people are in the rivers and lakes, and sometimes they can't help themselves."

"When things get to that point, everyone can't protect themselves."

"Everyone said that when the disaster came, they would fly separately. Who cares who lives or dies? At that time, I felt that the old forest ranger was pretty good, and he was more modest."

"But I don't like talking very much, but Huang Zhigang and I are both chatterboxes, and we come and go, but we can't talk together."

"Think about it, let's do it that way, but later, that is, a week later, I remember very clearly that day, Huang Zhigang and I stayed in the log cabin to warm up the fire, waiting for the old man to bring food back from outside."

"Because, whenever a certain time comes, the old man will go outside to purchase supplies, counting the time, it is also that day."

"So we stayed in the cabin, drinking millet porridge, thinking that the old man would be back before dark."

"But that day, we waited until 10 o'clock in the evening."

"Thinking about it being so late, the old man should have spent the night in a certain market outside, but later, we who were already asleep, suddenly heard a movement outside."

"What is it?" Lu Weiwei raised her head and asked.

"It's the sound of horseshoes, and judging from the movement, it doesn't look like the old man is coming back, so Huang Zhigang and I instinctively became alert."

"I always feel that if other people come, especially the police, then we will be in danger."

"So, from then on, the two of us quickly put on our overcoats, and then each took a wooden stick, hid at the door, and opened the iron bolt of the window by the way."

"Just wait, if the police really come to arrest us, then we will rush out of the window and into the woods."

"Then what happened later?" Officer Wang became alert when he heard this.

Xu Peiwen took a deep breath, as if he still had lingering fears, and after a long time, he said slowly:

"That person is none other than Master Hu. He came from outside and pushed open the door of the house."

"At that time, Huang Zhigang and I subconsciously almost knocked a wooden stick on his head. Fortunately, at the last moment, through a little familiarity with each other, we quickly discovered that we were all our own."

"And the 'uninvited guest' who came in is actually the Tiger Lord we have been looking for."

Hearing this, Gu Chen put down the writing pen, and raised his head to ask Xu Peiwen, "So? What does this have to do with the case?"

"That has a lot to do with it." Seeing that Gu Chen was not clear about it, Xu Peiwen simply explained:

"Master Tiger came here to discuss matters with us."

"Because he also has a sum of previous illegal income in his hand. He exchanged these things for gold just thinking about hiding them in a secret place for emergencies."

"But at that time, Huang Zhigang and I had already boarded his thief ship, and now we are grasshoppers on the same rope."

"So, in order to appease the two of us, he decided to give us a certain amount of appeasement fee."

"This time, I came here to give us money."

"Send money?" Hearing this, Officer Wang felt that something was wrong, so he immediately asked Xu Peiwen again:
"I said Xu Peiwen, you Lord Tiger, are you sick? His wealth, which is good, will be given to you?"

"I thought so too at the time." Hearing what Police Officer Wang said, Xu Peiwen picked up the disposable paper cup on the table and took a sip of water, saying meaningfully:

"At that time, I felt that this Mr. Tiger was not so simple. He came to see us at night, and he came to give us money. I felt that there must be tricks in it."

"Of course, Huang Zhigang didn't see this at the time. He felt that now that everyone has money, they can go to many places."

"It's okay to escape overseas, at least you don't have to live in fear every day."

"But later, when Lord Tiger put some gold on the table, the two of us froze again, feeling uneasy."

"I looked up at Master Tiger's expression at the time, and found that his face was fierce, but when he looked at us, he became very close."

"Based on what I know about Master Hu, I know that this guy has murderous intentions for us."

"But if we collect the gold, then, I'm sure, this Lord Tiger will definitely kill the two of us that night."

Having said this, Xu Peiwen also sighed heavily to let himself breathe, and then said:

"So, I know that this gold can't be taken. Just when Huang Zhigang was about to take the gold on the table, I stepped on him immediately to make him stop."

"Then pretend to be nice to Master Hu, and I'll tell Master Tiger that you're treating us as outsiders."

"I said, we are all brothers on the same boat, money or not, it doesn't matter now."

"What I want now is a safe environment, where I can enjoy my old age comfortably, not starve to death, and live a nourishing life."

"I told Lord Tiger that he is the most capable person I have ever met, so it's definitely right to hang out with him."

"Afterwards, in front of everyone, I pushed the gold that was piled on the table back to Lord Tiger."

"What did Lord Tiger say?" Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up, and she also looked curious.

Xu Peiwen said unhurriedly: "Master Hu was also shocked at the time, because he knew that we two were greedy for money, otherwise we wouldn't have followed his advice to do such a brain-dead thing."

"But at that time, I already felt that Master Hu was murderous. I knew that if I didn't say that, then Huang Zhigang and I would die that night."

"I just instinctively wanted to live, I wanted to live, that was my most direct thought at the time."

"Therefore, I didn't even verify the authenticity of the gold, and just pushed the gold piled on the table to Master Tiger."

"I told Mr. Hu that Huang Zhigang and I will belong to Mr. Hu from now on. Where will Mr. Hu go?"

"As long as there is a place for us, we will do our best to help him do things well."

After a pause, Xu Peiwen also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the situation at that time was a hundred times more tense than it is now.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and then asked Xu Peiwen: "Then what happened later? Did Lord Tiger believe you?"

Xu Peiwen nodded: "I believe it. Fortunately, I still have some acting skills. With my sincere eyes and the touching nonsense, Master Hu feels that the two of us may still be useful."

"Thinking that everyone fled from the mining area to the old forest in the northeast, more or less they are all on the same boat now, and it feels like a brother in distress."

"That's why Master Hu also felt a lot of emotion, and told Huang Zhigang to me that from now on, everyone will be brothers."

"Master Tiger told us that he has a lot of connections outside. If he wants to make a fortune, there are plenty of opportunities, but right now everyone needs to keep a low profile enough."

"He told us that it was because of his daring to work hard that he became famous in some coastal areas, but he also offended many people."

"Later he learned to keep a low profile, saying that he had become smarter and stopped fighting those people fiercely."

"Otherwise, the current self would have been dead for a long time."

"I remember, when Lord Tiger said this, he even felt a little aggrieved."

"Fortunately, at that time, my perseverance with Huang Zhigang finally influenced Mr. Hu. He seemed to have given up the idea of ​​killing us."

"I took the opportunity to ask him, where is the old forest ranger? He said that he fell outside and died."

"Dead?" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang exclaimed in unison:

"How did you fall to your death?"

"Yes, why did he fall to his death? We also had this problem at the time."

"Thinking about that old forest ranger, he was actually kind to us, but suddenly one day, he just fell to his death like this, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"So I asked Master Hu again, why did he choose to come here tonight? Master Hu said that after hearing the sad news that the old man fell to his death, he couldn't sit still."

"Because he knows very well that the old forest ranger is the only one in this forest. If someone who replaces him comes here and finds the two of us, it will be a big trouble."

"So, he decided to come over overnight and take us out of here."

"That is to say, Lord Tiger actually knew that you were here a long time ago, and it must have been told to him by the forest ranger, right?" As soon as Xu Peiwen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked him.

Xu Peiwen nodded silently: "That's right."

"That is to say, this Lord Tiger has actually been unwilling to see you all this time. He has been procrastinating like this. Does he have his own ideas?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Xu Peiwen continued to nod: "Yes, he was very troubled at the time, because we two murderers were actually facing great risks when we came here to find him."

"Because once caught by the police, it will be a one-shot. The reason why Master Hu has been refusing to show up is because he is worried about this risk."

"The other thing is, Lord Tiger also wants to get rid of us, but he has been unable to make up his mind, and always feels that there is no suitable time."

"But now, the old forest ranger fell to his death. If he doesn't make a decision, then he may get caught in the fire in the end."

"Under the pressure of self-preservation, he braved the cold weather and ran to the log cabin on the forest farm that night, preparing to kill us."

With a faint sigh, Xu Peiwen was also quite helpless: "On the surface, they want to use gold to send us to other places, but in fact, they are also testing us."

"If we take the gold, then he will definitely do everything possible to let us die in that forest. He is the kind of person."
