I am a super cop

Chapter 2351 East Lake Camp [two in one chapter]

"Then tell me, what's going on with that person?" Seeing that someone had seen traces of Hu Zhe, Lu Weiwei couldn't care too much at the moment, so she hurriedly asked.

The uncle thought for a moment and recalled, "I remember that day, the two of us were swimming on the shore. To be precise, we were just soaking in the water and chatting."

"Because we are usually busy at work and have a lot of business matters, we come here every night to relax."

After a pause, the short-haired man continued: "I only remember that my companion was communicating with me face to face, and I was facing the shore."

"I saw a figure entering the water directly from the steps."

"I feel like I came here to swim at night, but I'm also a little curious."

"What are you curious about?" Hearing this, Gu Chen frowned slightly.

The uncle didn't hide it, and said straightforwardly: "I was very curious at the time. We were already very late."

"It stands to reason that most of the people who come here to swim come after dinner."

"It won't be later than 8 o'clock. The two of us came here after 9 o'clock, which is already very late. If we go swimming, we won't go home until at least 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock in the evening."

"So that day I saw people swimming in the water after 10 o'clock in the evening, and I felt a little strange."

"But because the two of us were discussing business matters at the time, I didn't pay much attention."

"But now I hear you tell me that the person who went into the water around 10 o'clock the night before yesterday was the only one, I guess, and he might be the person you are looking for."

"Then which direction did this man swim in? Where did he finally come ashore?" Lu Weiwei quickly asked.

The short-haired man frowned, walked to the shore, looked around, and then began to think.

At this time, a ship passed under the bridge and sounded a whistle.

At this moment, the short-haired man also realized something?He quickly pointed to one of the light sources and said:

"I remembered that the man swam in that direction."

Gu Chen followed the direction pointed by the short-haired man, then looked at where he was standing, and hurriedly asked the man:

"Where were you in the water?"

"This?" He had never been asked like this before. The short-haired man looked at the water and suddenly said worriedly:

"Who would have thought about where exactly I am when I'm swimming this time? It's almost right over there."

Seeing the short-haired man pointing to a certain location, Gu Chen took a rough look around.

Since there was no reference point on the water, Gu Chen couldn't easily judge the uncle's position at that time.

But to accurately know where Hu Zhe went, we need to restore it based on the scene at the time in order to know the location to the maximum extent.

But it seems difficult to accomplish now.

Just when Gu Chen was at a loss what to do, the tall and thin man wearing glasses volunteered: "I roughly know the direction. We usually swim in this water area and we don't swim too far."

"Sometimes, we will use the big tree on the shore as a reference. When we return to the shore, we will also refer to the big tree to determine the direction."

"I remember that we were facing the big tree on the shore, maybe 60 to 80 meters away from the shore."

"Are you sure?" When he got this data, Gu Chen was overjoyed, but at the same time he was not sure about the authenticity of the data.

The uncle smiled and said: "It's hard to say. Anyway, I rely on my own experience to judge."

After thinking for a while, the uncle said again: "How about I go into the water and help you confirm the specific location?"

"That's good work." Seeing how enthusiastic the glasses man was, Gu Chen no longer refused.

He immediately pointed to the light source in the distance and said: "Your companion said that he swam towards that light source. I looked over there and saw that it should be a landscape light on the upper floor of a bank."

"If we can determine the approximate location, it will be very helpful for our investigation work."

"You have to know that if the displacement is slightly different, the scope of investigation may be much larger."

"I understand." The glasses man also knew this and immediately said to the short-haired man next to him:

"Let's go into the water now. I'll take you to the area where we probably stayed the night before yesterday. You can determine which direction the figure you saw that night swam towards."

"Okay." Seeing that the police wanted something from him, the short-haired man didn't hesitate.

Afterwards, the two placed their belongings in a self-service locker in the mobile house on the shore, and then walked to the steps over there together.

After entering the water, the two of them swam directly forward.

"These two uncles are quite enthusiastic." Seeing the two uncles busy helping her confirm her position, Lu Weiwei also looked happy.

Gu Chen also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Fortunately, someone has seen Hu Zhe."

"According to these two uncles, no one would go into the water at that late hour, and some would swim to the shore."

"So it can be concluded that the reason why Senior Brother He was unable to find out Hu Zhe's whereabouts was because Hu Zhe directly chose to go into the water. Where did he want to swim?"

"It's really strange." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei couldn't understand and said:

"This guy would rather go by land than by water."

"And instead of going out through the main entrance of the bar, he had to climb into the ventilation duct of the toilet. Who knows what is going on with this guy?"

"The most important thing now is to find Hu Zhe." Gu Chen said.

"Of course." Lu Weiwei sighed softly and couldn't help but said:
"This guy Vujicic is really worrying. I always feel that something happened to him, so he had no choice but to go into the water."

"But what the hell is the reason for missing now? Doesn't he know that the concert at the East Lake Camp is the only way for him to meet Sister Jin and find a way to get her appreciation?"

"They even started to disappear. If this happens, the rest of their metal band will have no hope."

At the end of her speech, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh heavily, feeling sorry for Hu Zhe.

Gu Chen thought about it and said, "I think there is something wrong with the people Hu Zhe came into contact with, especially the person who told Hu Zhe that Sister Jin would appear at the East Lake Camp concert that night."

"You doubt him? But he also has good intentions?" Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen shook his head: "If these things didn't happen, I think this is indeed normal."

"But since the man told Hu Zhe that Sister Jin would appear, Hu Zhe has encountered so many things. It is difficult for me not to doubt him."

"So Junior Brother Gu, do you suspect that the man who told Hu Zhejin the news actually had other ideas?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Gu Chen shook his head: "I don't have any evidence yet, but this person can be used as a suspect. Let Senior Brother He investigate again later."

"The most important thing now is to find traces of Hu Zhe. Only by finding Hu Zhe can we know what happened in all this?"

"Only then can we know why Vujicic climbed out of the ventilation duct of the bar toilet?"

"Only then can we know why he came to the riverside after leaving the bar and then swam away?"

"Everything that happened is too weird. It must not be that simple."

"Well, I think so too." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and said in thought:
"Generally speaking, I feel that there seems to be some connection between Hu Zicic and that man."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei said again: "I suggest you go back to the East Lake camp to inquire and see if this woman named Sister Jin will really appear?"

"Only in this way can we confirm whether what the man sitting at the table next to us said that night is true."

"Yeah." Gu Chen also meant the same thing, nodding in agreement and saying, "We'll go there after we investigate the matter here clearly."

At that time, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were staying on the shore to discuss the next work.

The two men who had entered the water before started to swim back.

Gu Chen quickly took a few steps forward and walked to the shore, waiting for the two uncles to walk up the steps.

"How are you, uncle?" Seeing this, Gu Chen hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Sure." The short-haired man also pointed to the light source in the distance and said, "I remember that that night, he swam in the direction of the light source."

"And the light source over there was facing us, and the person swam in the direction of the light source, forming exactly a line with us."

"I could see his back and the light in front of him."

"So, that person from the night before yesterday used that light source as his reference?" Lu Weiwei said.

The short-haired man nodded fiercely: "That's pretty much what it means. I guess it's based on that beam of light."

"After all, swimming on such a wide river is fine if you swim on the shore, but if you swim to the center of the river, it is still a bit dangerous."

"Because there are ships passing by here at night. If you don't avoid it properly, you are likely to be hit by the ship or get caught in the propeller."

"Similar incidents have happened before, so ships passing by the river at night are usually guarded at the bow position, and they will carefully observe the situation in the water when passing by."

"Once someone is found swimming across the river, the driver will be reminded to give way and shout to the swimmers in the river to drive them away."

After a pause, the short-haired uncle said again: "So, if we want to swim across the river at night, we usually wear a life buoy on our bodies. The life buoy must have obvious reflective strip marks to ensure safety."

"So, that man didn't have any protective measures that day?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The short-haired man thought about it for a few seconds and said thoughtfully: "I remember that his swimming style was a bit like swimming with arms."

"Armed swimming?" Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment when she heard this professional term.

The bespectacled man on the side also nodded silently: "Yes, it is armed swimming. I used to swim like this when I was a soldier."

"To put it simply, the main purpose is to carry equipment alone or in a team and use breaststroke, sidestroke, etc. to reduce swimming noise and successfully cross the river."

"It is also one of the more practical swimming methods. Breaststroke and sidestroke are used to help maintain body balance, observe the movement of the water surface, and make swimming noise less."

"If necessary, you can use air bags, bamboo tubes, rafts and other floating objects to swim in."

"Yes." After hearing what his companion said, the short-haired man beside him quickly explained:
"When that person was swimming, he took off his clothes, packed them in some kind of bag, and then put them in front to support them as a floating object."

"Anyway, in the end we swam towards the light source."

"Okay, thank you very much." With the help of the two uncles, Gu Chen also roughly knew the area where Hu Zhe was swimming.

At this moment, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, opened the mobile map, and confirmed the specific coordinates on the spot. Then he quickly took a screenshot, edited the specific location, and sent it to He Junchao.

After bidding farewell to the two uncles, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei returned to the steps, and Gu Chen made a call directly.

Not long after, He Junchao's call was answered and he asked Gu Chen: "What's wrong, Gu Chen?"

"Brother He, I got the latest news here. Hu Zhe may have swam to the other side that night."

"According to witnesses here, Hu Zhe probably came ashore near the building of Jiangnan Bank."

"Because there is a landscape light on top of this building, which is very conspicuous at night."

"I think Hu Zicic probably used this as a target to swim to the other side. You should quickly investigate and see if there is any trace of Hu Zicic in the location I marked the night before yesterday."

"Okay, I'll help you investigate." He Junchao quickly agreed when he heard Gu Chen's request.

At this time, Gu Chen quickly said: "Also, do you still remember the mysterious man sitting at the table next to us that night?"

"Mysterious man?" He Junchao was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

So Gu Chen hurriedly added: "This is the person who told Hu Zhe that Sister Jin was going to the East Lake Camp to attend the music festival."

"Oh, him? I know, but that person, from beginning to end, I didn't see his face clearly."

"That doesn't matter." Seeing that He Junchao couldn't see the person's face clearly, Gu Chen quickly added: "I couldn't see clearly at the time because of the angle, but you can use the nearby surveillance cameras to check this person."

"Then, Senior Sister Lu and I will go to the East Lake Camp to confirm whether Sister Jin will appear at the music festival."

"Okay, leave this to me, it just takes some time." After hearing what Gu Chen said, He Junchao also gave his own answer.

Gu Chen said humbly, "It doesn't matter, I'll give you the time. I'll go to the East Lake Camp immediately."

"Also, those people in the bar who asked you to investigate before, also help me follow up."

"I know, I know. With so many investigation tasks, we have to do them one by one. I will try my best." He Junchao said with despair.

After some communication, Gu Chen hung up the phone.

Lu Weiwei hurried over and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, where are we going now?"

"Go to the East Lake Camp and check the authenticity of that matter." Gu Chen said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Weiwei didn't say much, feeling that it was more important to identify these suspects now.

Hu Zhe's disappearance has implicated many suspicious clues.

Therefore, Gu Chen has reason to doubt anyone who has come into contact with Hu Zhe.

Driving the vehicle, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei drove non-stop for nearly an hour before arriving at the East Lake Scenic Area.

This was originally a semi-developed lakeside meadow.To be precise, this place was a reservoir before, and the East Lake Camp is located in a spacious area of ​​the reservoir.

Backed by a forest and close to a lake, it is a natural oxygen bar.

It is also because in recent years, changes in various camping lifestyles have given rise to the birth of many camping camps.

And East Lake Camp is one of them.

When Gu Chen followed the road signs and drove all the way to the parking lot outside the East Lake Camp, he discovered that there were many vehicles parked in the parking lot.

After getting off the car, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei also passed through a door with a rather wild character and came to a corridor.

The walking corridors here are very artistically designed and decorated with various colored lights.

There are many new buildings here, all for the convenience of tourists taking photos and checking in.

One of the largest buildings is located in the core area of ​​the entire camp. It looks like a castle, but Lu Weiwei checked it on her mobile phone on the way here.

It was confirmed that this castle is actually a hotel.

It is also the location of the offices of the entire East Lake Camp.

"It should be here, right?" Lu Weiwei looked around, found an office, and knocked on the door a few times.

The lights were on in the office, but it seemed empty.

Lu Weiwei directly turned the handle and pushed the door open.

There were several sofas inside, but they were empty, so Lu Weiwei came to the corridor and prepared to call loudly.

But at this moment, I heard footsteps of leather shoes coming down the stairs from the second floor.

So Lu Weiwei took a few steps back and quickly asked, "Is there anyone there?"

"Yes." The person who came was a middle-aged woman with short hair. After coming down from the stairs, she walked up to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei and said with a smile:

"You two are here to stay, right? We happen to have a unique couple's room here, which is very suitable for you two."

"If you two want to check in, you can come to the front desk with me."

"Oh no, no, I think you misunderstood." Seeing that the woman misunderstood the two of them, Lu Weiwei quickly explained:
"We are from Furong Branch." Showing her police ID, Lu Weiwei quickly added:

"I came here this time to ask you something."

"Oh?" Seeing that the visitors were two policemen, the middle-aged woman seemed not to dare to neglect, and quickly invited them into the office and said:
"Boy, come in and talk."

After Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei sat down, the middle-aged woman directly made tea for them, brought it to them, and said:
"You two came here late at night. What do you want to find out?"

"About your music festival at East Lake Camp." Gu Chen said.

"Oh, what about this? Yes, we are going to hold a music festival, because it has been a trial opening before, and now it will be officially opened."

"So, we planned an East Lake Camp Music Festival. We will invite some bands to set up a stage in the open space here to make it lively."

After thinking for a while, the middle-aged woman asked again: "However, we have all the procedures for holding a music festival, and there is no problem. I don't know what you two want to know when you come here?"

"I want to know, on the day of your music festival, will you invite a musician named Sister Jin to come over?" Lu Weiwei didn't want to beat around the bush, so she said straightforwardly.

"Sister Jin?" After hearing Lu Weiwei's question, the middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment and said in surprise:
"Comrade police, do you also know the character Sister Jin?"

"I know a little bit." Lu Weiwei pretended to be modest and continued to ask:
"Tell me, does this happen?"

"Yes, there is." The middle-aged woman was lying on the sofa, crossing her legs and thinking:
"We have invited Sister Jin because one of our shareholders is familiar with people in the music industry and has high-end connections."

"Just a few days before the opening, Sister Jin had to do something in the provincial capital, so the shareholder of our camp invited her to attend the music festival here."

"Is this really happening?" After hearing what the middle-aged woman said, Lu Weiwei believed that what the man said was not groundless.

But soon, the middle-aged woman explained: "However, this is just a proposal and has not been implemented yet."

"What did you say? Proposal?" Gu Chen couldn't help but frowned when he heard the middle-aged woman's tone.

This seems to be inconsistent with what the man said when everyone was at Hu Zhe's barbecue stall.

At that time, the man told Hu Zhe that Sister Jin would definitely come, but he did not guarantee whether he could enjoy the performances of these bands.

But one thing can be confirmed, that is, according to the man, Sister Jin will definitely come.

But when they arrived at the East Lake camp, the middle-aged woman said that it had not been implemented yet.

It seems that there are some misunderstandings?

Gu Chen quickly asked the middle-aged woman: "Didn't you say you would definitely come?"

"Who told you that it would definitely come? Not many people know about this."

Feeling a little confused, the middle-aged woman also asked curiously: "Comrade police, who did you hear this from? Not many people knew about this matter."

"I heard it from a tall and thin man." Lu Weiwei said.

"What's it called?" the middle-aged woman asked quickly.

"I don't know." Lu Weiwei shook her head to express her ignorance.

The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "I don't know who this guy is? Are you going to tell him everywhere?"

"How come this matter that was still under discussion was known to outsiders? After all, Sister Jin is also a big shot."

"This matter has not yet been implemented in our East Lake camp, but outsiders have already spread the word."

With a faint sigh, the middle-aged woman also looked helpless.

When Gu Chen saw this, he felt that the situation was not as simple as he imagined.

So he asked the middle-aged woman again for confirmation: "According to your opinion, it is not certain that Sister Jin will come to East Lake Camp to participate in the music festival?"

"Is that possible?" It felt like Gu Chen didn't understand the situation, so the middle-aged woman quickly explained:
"It's true that Sister Jin is friends with the shareholder of our camp. When our shareholder was developing in Beijing, he knew many people in the music circle."

"So, I also accumulated some connections. At that time, Sister Jin had not yet become popular. Who would have thought that she is now a godmother-level figure in the entire music industry?"

"So, our shareholder was just lucky enough to have this relationship, and it has been well maintained until now."

"So I heard that Sister Jin is recording a program in the provincial capital, and it happens to be relatively close in time."

"So, our shareholder kept doing nothing and directly invited Sister Jin to come over to show her favor, but she hasn't fully agreed yet."

"I'm just saying that if there is enough time, the recording of the program in the provincial capital can be finished, and she can come over to join in the fun, and bring a few new musicians over."

"This way, we can also have these new music talents come over to cheer and so on."

Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged woman also looked curious: "But, we haven't confirmed this ourselves, and we don't even dare to publicize it. You actually know it earlier than us."

"Could it be that the person who told us is your shareholder?" Gu Chen thought that the man seemed to know these inside stories very well, so he asked casually.

So the middle-aged woman quickly asked: "Do you think that man is tall and thin?"

"Yes." Lu Weiwei nodded silently.

"That's not true." The middle-aged woman shook her head and denied: "The shareholder here is in his 50s, bald, chubby, and has a big belly."

When saying the word "big belly", the middle-aged woman also deliberately made a gesture of a big belly.

Hearing this, Gu Chen also looked sad, so he quickly asked:

"Then if it wasn't your shareholders who said it, how many people would know about inviting Sister Jin to come here to participate in the event?"

"Maybe... just three?" The middle-aged woman was also not sure.

Lu Weiwei leaned forward and asked quickly, "Which three?"

"Me, the shareholder, and the shareholder's brother." The middle-aged woman said.

Hearing this, Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Then could this person be his brother?"

"Impossible." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the middle-aged woman waved her hand and denied it:

"The shareholder's younger brother is about the same age and stature as the shareholder. He is thousands of miles away from the person you are talking about. He is not the same person at all."

"Who could that be?" It feels like it's neither this nor that.

But what clearly only three people knew, now one more person knew.

Feeling that there must be something fishy in this, Lu Weiwei quickly asked the middle-aged woman: "Sister, what about this shareholder and the shareholder's brother, are they in the camp?"

"Yes." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, the middle-aged woman replied:
"The shareholder and his brother, who are responsible for the catering of the camp, live here, upstairs."

After the words fell, the middle-aged woman pointed directly to the roof.

So Gu Chen quickly said politely: "Then could you please help us call these two people over?"

"Uh……"

Hearing what Gu Chen said, the middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, then asked warily:
"Comrade police, why are you so interested in whether Sister Jin is here or not?"

"because……"

What did Lu Weiwei just want to say?There are some factors that can be taken into consideration that may affect the handling of the case.

So Lu Weiwei quickly explained: "You'd better call those two people down first. We are also handling a case. We want to ask these two people for questioning. It's just a simple question. You don't have to worry."

"Okay." Although it's not clear whether what Lu Weiwei said is true?But the middle-aged woman reluctantly stood up and explained:
"Then I will go upstairs now and help you call these two people down. You can sit here for a while."

"Okay, I'm done." Seeing the middle-aged woman leaving the office, Gu Chen nodded slightly and said politely.

When the middle-aged woman closed the office door, stepped on her hard-soled shoes, and walked up the stairs step by step, Gu Chen expressed his doubts:

"This middle-aged woman could have called the two of them down with just a phone call, but she had to go up in person."

"Will she want to discuss things with these two people?" Lu Weiwei also gave her own opinion.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "It's possible, let's see what these two people say later."

"After all, there are only three of them who know that Sister Jin is here, but the other man knows about it. It feels quite strange."

"If nothing else happens, one of the three people should have leaked the information."

"But no matter what, as long as we find out the direction of the leaked information based on these three people, and then find the person who knows about this matter, we can determine who is the man who appeared near the barbecue stall that night."

"That's right." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei also sighed, feeling very sleepy now.

It was almost early in the morning, but business in the entire castle hotel seemed to be good.

When Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei arrived here, many rooms were lit with lights.

Moreover, the parking lot is also full of vehicles, which shows that this newly opened campground does have a strong attraction.

Not long after, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei heard footsteps coming from the corridor again.

This time it seemed that three people came down together.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, stood up and looked towards the door.

At this moment, the door was opened, and a middle-aged woman led two bloated middle-aged men in from the outside.

The middle-aged woman quickly introduced: "Comrade police, this is the second shareholder of our East Lake camp, and this is his brother."

After the words fell, the middle-aged woman quickly introduced Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to them:

"Boss, these two are police officers from Furong Branch."

"Hello." Gu Chen took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with the two of them.

"Hello." The second shareholder seemed to have little respect for a young policeman like Gu Chen. He just shook hands casually and perfunctorily, then extended his hand and said:
"sit down."

Several people took their seats again, and the middle-aged woman continued to serve as tea server.

"I heard that you are looking for me? Is it because of Sister Jin's visit to the East Lake Camp?" Obviously, the middle-aged woman had informed the second shareholder of the matter in advance.

Therefore, the second shareholder also asked very curiously.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "We are investigating a case of missing persons. This man heard another man say that Sister Jin is coming to the East Lake Camp."

"The man was also a musician, so he wanted to come over to join in the fun and meet Sister Jin, but then he mysteriously disappeared."
