I am a super cop

Chapter 2354 The Clapper Musician [Two in one chapter]

The next morning, at 5:40 am.

Lu Weiwei woke up from her dream and realized that she was lying on the seat, her head buzzing.

She was originally on vacation, but she immediately took on the task and had to work the night shift in the early morning. This caused Lu Weiwei's biological clock to be somewhat unable to adjust.

But looking at the scene outside the window, Lu Weiwei seemed to have some epiphany, and then looked at Gu Chen in the driver's seat with a surprised look on her face.

At this time, Gu Chen was eating breakfast.

Seeing Lu Weiwei regaining consciousness, he also directly brought Lu Weiwei's breakfast to Lu Weiwei:
"Sister Lu, are you awake? This is breakfast prepared for you."

"Damn it." Seeing that Gu Chen had brought breakfast to him, he thought of himself last night. He was obviously on the night shift, but now when he opened his eyes, he had just woken up.

It seemed that he could no longer remember everything about last night.

Turning to look at the back row, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were also enjoying a warm breakfast.

Seeing Lu Weiwei looking at him, Officer Wang also smiled and said: "Lu Weiwei, are you hungry? Eat some breakfast quickly."

"Yes, Senior Sister Lu, breakfast is still hot." Yuan Shasha next to Officer Wang also said.

Lu Weiwei was even more embarrassed now. She couldn't help but frown, and her eyes returned to Gu Chen: "So Junior Brother Gu, last night... did I fall asleep?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and answered quite straightforwardly.

Lu Weiwei shrank her neck: "It's over, then didn't I notice the gate situation of Fude Community?"

"Senior Sister Lu, it's not your fault. I told you to let me be on duty for the first shift. You were too tired last night, so..."

"So." After listening to Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei asked cautiously:

"So, when did I fall asleep? When did you find out?"

"Uh...you fell asleep in the 10th minute of duty, right?" Gu Chen said, counting the time.

"Fell asleep in the 10th minute?" Lu Weiwei suddenly felt very broken. She was about to blame herself, but her eyes lit up again, as if she remembered something?
So Lu Weiwei quickly looked at Gu Chen and asked with a surprised look on her face: "But Junior Brother Gu, how come you know so well when I fell asleep?"

"I……"

Gu Chen was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Yuan Shasha, who was in the back row, laughed out loud and said, "Actually, Senior Brother Gu didn't sleep at all last night. He just squinted his eyes. He saw that Senior Sister Lu was too tired, so he fell asleep not long after."

"So, Senior Brother Gu was on duty throughout the night shift. He didn't let me buy breakfast nearby until dawn."

"Yes, last night, Gu Chen was on duty all night." Officer Wang, who was eating meat buns at the side, quickly agreed.

Lu Weiwei looked broken, and sighed heavily, admitting her mistake to Gu Chen: "It was my fault, I shouldn't be so pushy."

"If your Junior Brother Gu also falls asleep, then something big will definitely be missed."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have good energy and can't sleep at night, so you don't have to blame yourself too much." Naturally, Gu Chen would not blame Lu Weiwei, but he was very familiar with Lu Weiwei's physical condition.

Officer Wang also reminded: "Lu Weiwei, don't show off next time. Fortunately, it was not a major mistake last night, otherwise we would be in big trouble."

"So, that guy didn't come out of Fude Community last night, right?" Lu Weiwei confirmed again.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and then said: "Oh, by the way, Senior Brother He used AI technology to restore the specific appearance of that person last night."

"It has been sent to our temporary work group. We only need to refer to this AI picture for comparison, and there should be no big problem."

"That's good." Feeling that there was no serious disaster, Lu Weiwei quickly took out her phone and opened the temporary work group.

Sure enough, I found the picture sent by He Junchao in the temporary work group, so I clicked on it to check it out.

"Does this person have a specific identity?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Look at Senior Brother He's answer below." Gu Chen continued to remind him, and casually picked up the soy milk in his hand and took a few sips.

Lu Weiwei continued to browse the chat group page, and then discovered that Gu Chen and He Junchao had confirmed their identities on the portraits restored by AI last night.

The current comparison shows that this person's name is He Yongliang, who is currently a professional tuner and has his own studio.

"He Yongliang is the tuner?" Lu Weiwei looked up at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "At present, we can only investigate that this person named He Yongliang looks somewhat similar to the character restored by AI."

"And this He Yongliang is a native of Jiangnan City and a tuner. He worked for a music organization for a period of time and is currently running a studio by himself."

"How many people are there in their studio now?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Gu Chen smiled slightly: "He is the only one at the moment. I think he and Hu Zhe, who play music, should all belong to the same industry, and should be more or less related."

"But judging from the current situation, when we met He Yongliang at the barbecue stall that day, he and Vujicic didn't seem to know each other."

"So for the time being, we can judge that the two parties may not know each other, but this He Yongliang is the person we are looking for. The probability is still relatively high."

"Currently, it has been found from various information that He Yongliang is indeed renting in Fude Community."

"He probably transformed Fude Community into his own studio and has been doing some tuning work there."

"So that's it? They match so well. It seems that He Yongliang is right."

Seeing that the investigation of the matter has reached this level, Lu Weiwei feels that this should be close to ten.

So he took the breakfast from Gu Chen and started to enjoy it directly.

……

……

Everyone waited in the car until 9 a.m., but there was still no sign of He Yongliang coming out.

Lu Weiwei, who had some back pain, was also very depressed and said:

"This He Yongliang, shouldn't he sleep until noon and then get up?"

"It's very possible." Officer Wang lay on his seat and guessed:
"The tuner's work is relatively free, and He Yongliang also works alone and runs his own studio. He may not have to worry about clocking in to work."

"So, I probably slept in the morning, probably got up at noon, and then worked until late at night. That's probably what happened."

"I think this should be the case." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Yuan Shasha on the side also echoed.

Gu Chen silently nodded in agreement, then took out his cell phone and dialed He Junchao's phone number.

Not long after, He Junchao's call was answered, and Gu Chen quickly asked: "Brother He, I asked you to investigate the situation of Hu Zhe's landing on Binjiang Road. I wonder if you have found out?"

"Gu Chen." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, He Junchao's complaint came from the other end of the phone:
"To be honest, I repeatedly observed the surveillance of all areas on the shore opposite Binjiang Road that night, but I didn't find anyone swimming ashore."

"Is there no one there?" Gu Chen felt a little strange.

And He Junchao's answer was still categorical: "There was no one, no one swam ashore at all."

"No matter how much I go back in time, I can't get any relevant images. I even wonder if Vujicic has sunk to the bottom of the water?"

"After all, if a person doesn't make it to shore and disappears again, doesn't that mean he sank to the bottom of the water?"

After a pause, He Junchao on the phone also suggested: "So, Gu Chen, I suggest that the relevant departments organize water search and rescue forces to search downstream along the current to see if they can find Hu Zhe. Corpse."

"Understood." Seeing what He Junchao said, Gu Chen roughly understood the specific situation.

Now Hu Zhe can't find anyone, and has lost contact for several days, with no news.

It seems impossible to understand from Vujicic why he escaped through the ventilation duct of the bar toilet.

But now everyone has at least another clue, and that is the tuner He Yongliang, who may be an important suspect.

After all, Hu Zhe knew the whereabouts of Sister Jin through He Yongliang, but He Yongliang obviously got the information from the brother of the second shareholder of the East Lake Camp.

Therefore, Gu Chen felt that no matter what, he should talk to He Yongliang to see what the connection was between him and Hu Zhe.
"Gu Chen, Gu Chen, are you listening?" Seeing that Gu Chen on the phone did not respond, He Junchao also reminded him.

"I'm listening. I'll contact the relevant departments and ask them to send water forces to help search."

"Yes, that's how it should be."

"Okay, if you find anything else, remember to notify me as soon as possible." Gu Chen said.

"no problem."

……

The two also hung up the phone after a brief exchange of greetings.

Lu Weiwei, who heard the sound on the phone, also said in disbelief: "Junior brother Gu, did this Hu Zhe really sink to the bottom of the river like this?"

"He can swim, how could he..."

"So what if you can swim?" Before Lu Weiwei could finish her words, Officer Wang in the back row reminded her:
"Those who drown are usually those who can swim. If you want these people to swim in the hotel pool or something, that's fine."

"Let them swim in the shallow waters of the river, that's fine, but let them cross the river, you know, this is a waterway."

"Especially in the middle area of ​​the river, the water conditions are complicated, and it's at night. Who knows what emergencies may happen?"

With a faint sigh, Officer Wang lay back on his seat and said thoughtfully:
"I was thinking that this Hu Zicic might have had cramps in his feet when he was trying to cross the river, or he was feeling unwell, or he encountered complicated water conditions that prevented him from breaking free."

"Anyway, no matter what the situation is, I estimate that this Vujicic will be in trouble."

"Since there has been no contact for a few days, something must have happened, probably drowning."

"Then we can only ask the relevant departments to look for corpses on the river." Yuan Shasha on the side also sighed and said, feeling a little baffled:

"Sometimes I really can't figure it out. Why did Hu Zicic escape from the ventilation duct of the bar toilet? He also had to cross the river at night. Isn't this looking for death?"

"I don't understand how he wants to succeed so much, but he takes risks and doesn't take his own life seriously."

"Haha, Xiao Yuan, if you understood everything, then this case wouldn't be so complicated."

Seeing that Yuan Shasha was confused and couldn't understand, Officer Wang also laughed happily.

Lu Weiwei in the front row was eating meat buns and thinking: "From now on, this matter is all caused by He Yongliang."

"Without him, there would not have been so many things later, and He Yongliang is also related to the bar where Hu Zhe escaped."

"At least He Yongliang heard that Sister Jin was coming to Jiangnan City's Donghu Camp to attend the music festival. He Yongliang heard about it at that bar."

"It feels like things are definitely not that simple. There must be a conspiracy in it."

"But the question is, what is the conspiracy?" said Officer Wang in the back row.

Lu Weiwei was not discouraged and said: "Old Wang, do you still remember that after He Yongliang mentioned Sister Jin's situation to Hu Zhe, there was still a key person?"

"You mean..." Officer Wang didn't react for a moment and hesitated.

Yuan Shasha on the side reminded her, "It's the 'beggar'. Didn't He Yongliang say that? If you want to go to the music festival to perform, you should go find the 'beggar'."

"And this person may be able to help Hu Zhe, so Hu Zhe will look for people one by one in these bars."

"Yes, it's a 'beggar'." After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Lu Weiwei also looked certain:
"If He Yongliang hadn't made so many mistakes, Hu Zicic probably wouldn't have drowned."

"So the most important thing now is that we have to figure out what is the relationship between this 'beggar' and Hu Zhe and He Yongliang?"

"That's right, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot about this person." After listening to everyone's various discussions, Gu Chen also suddenly realized.

The previous focus of the investigation has been the whereabouts of Hu Zhe, the authenticity of Sister Jin coming to the East Lake Camp to participate in the music festival, and He Yongliang, who caused the trouble.

On the contrary, he had forgotten the character called "beggar" that He Yongliang had said.

Lu Weiwei said quickly: "According to He Yongliang's description at the time, this guy named 'Beggar' has a very obvious feature, which is a head of dirty braids."

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded silently and took out his phone again.

Then, relying on his master-level memory, he began to call the phone number of the second shareholder of East Lake Camp.

Because he was taking notes last night, Gu Chen left the phone number of the second owner of the camping base, so now Gu Chen decided to ask him about the situation.

The call was quickly connected, and the response from the middle-aged bald man from last night came: "Who are you?"

"Hello, I'm the policeman who came to your camp last night." "Oh, so it's you?"

Before Gu Chen finished speaking, the second shareholder on the phone recognized that the person on the other end of the phone was Gu Chen, so his tone of voice became more polite and he quickly asked:
"Comrade police, you are looking for me because of that matter, right? Have you investigated anything? Or do you need our help in some way?"

"Do you know about the character 'Beggar'?" Gu Chen asked straight to the point without saying too much nonsense.

On the other end of the phone, the second shareholder's doubts soon came: "A beggar? What kind of person is this?"

"I have to ask you." Seeing that the second shareholder seemed unclear, Gu Chen quickly added: "The man who learned that Sister Jin is coming to the East Lake Camp to attend the music festival, tell the missing man."

"If you want to attend the music festival at East Lake Camp and perform on stage, you need to find a guy named 'Beggar.'"

"They also said that guy can help arrange performances on stage. I just want to confirm if this is the case?"

"Uh……"

After listening to Gu Chen's story, the two shareholders seemed unable to answer for a while, so they politely replied:
"Comrade police, I really don't know much about this, because I leave all the performance business to my brother."

"Including the bands contacted, because they are all members of our Jiangnan City Local Musicians Association, so I have already said hello and asked my brother to arrange and coordinate."

"As for the 'beggar' you are talking about, maybe I know him, but it must be a nickname or a stage name, right?"

"That's right." Facing the second shareholder's inquiry, Gu Chen also echoed:
"This should be the stage name or nickname. Please help me find this person."

"Uh, comrade police, can you help me confirm what this person looks like? Does he have any obvious physical characteristics?"

"Yes." Before the second shareholder could finish speaking, Gu Chen quickly replied:
"The most obvious feature is that guy's hairstyle is dreadlocks."

"Dreadlocks?" He didn't seem to respond, but a few seconds later, the second shareholder hurriedly said:

"It's the kind of braided hairstyle that Europeans and Americans often get, right?"

"Yes." Seeing that although the second shareholder was older, he still knew something about music trends, Gu Chen said solemnly:

"This is the man named 'Beggar'. He has obvious appearance features. Have you ever seen him at the East Lake Camp?"

"This... oh, I seem to have seen this person once. When was it? Let me think about it."

I feel a little embarrassed for myself, but the second shareholder seems to have some impression of this man with dreadlocks.

So soon, the two shareholders became anxious.

But not long after, the second shareholder responded again: "I remember that members of the major bands who were going to participate in the music festival that day came to our place one after another to do some simple inspections."

"There is a man with yellow hair and dreadlocks who appears here. He seems to be familiar with these band members."

"Because I was busy with other things at the time, I didn't have time to entertain them, so I asked my brother to entertain them. He should know the specific situation better than me."

"Can that..."

"Looking for my brother, right? He's still upstairs. Just wait a moment and I'll ask him to call you and get back to you, okay?"

Before Gu Chen could finish his words, the second shareholder quickly responded.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Gu Chen didn't say anything more and quickly agreed: "Then I'll help you."

"You're welcome, I'll contact my brother right now."

The second shareholder here finished speaking and hung up the phone.

About 2 minutes passed before a call from an unfamiliar local number came to Gu Chen's mobile phone.

Without further ado, Gu Chen swiped the answer button.

"Hello, are you the police comrade from Furong Branch?" The voice of the brother of the second shareholder soon came over the phone.

Since he had dealt with him last night, Gu Chen could clearly hear the person's voice, so he quickly responded:

"Yes, I am the policeman who came to your East Lake camp last night. Your brother should have explained the specific situation to you, right?"

"Yes, he said there was a man with yellow hair and dreadlocks, and he asked me if I recognized him." The fat middle-aged man on the other end of the phone said.

Gu Chen said humbly: "Yes, so, do you recognize him?"

"I'm not very familiar with him. I can only say that I've had some contact with him. He came here with some band members that day."

"At first, I thought he was one of these bands, so I didn't really care."

"But as these band members came on stage to rehearse one by one, I didn't find the man with dreadlocks until the end."

"He always stayed in the audience, chatting with the female members of the band. It felt more like he was here to have fun."

"So, he should be somewhat familiar with those band members."

"Then can you help me confirm which band members he is familiar with?" Gu Chen heard what the middle-aged fat man said, and suddenly felt that this man with dreadlocks might be able to find him through those band members.

"I'm not sure about this, but I do have the contact information of those band leaders."

"Wait a minute." As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Gu Chen quickly asked again:

"If there are new bands to join the music festival, which one of you can decide to temporarily join other bands? Is it your East Lake Camp? Or those band members?"

"This one……"

Faced with Gu Chen's doubts, the middle-aged fat boss also said truthfully: "I'll tell you the truth. In fact, we are also selling face to the city's Musicians Association."

"My brother and the major shareholder of the camp discussed the arrangement of the music festival project this time."

"Because I have some acquaintance with the leaders of the Musicians Association, and the leaders of the Musicians Association there are very enthusiastic. After all, there is money to arrange the bands for the music festival."

"And they, the leaders of the Musicians Association, have to earn this money themselves."

"So, when it comes to inviting bands, which bands should be invited? Which other singers from the Musicians Association are coming? This is not something we can decide. The decision lies with the Musicians Association."

"Musicians Association?" Gu Chen probably knew it when he heard this name.

If you want to find the man with dreadlocks, you may need to confirm it through the leader of the Musicians Association.

After all, what He Yongliang said was that if Vujicic's metal band wanted to participate in the East Lake Camp Music Festival, they would temporarily add their own band.

Obviously, go find a guy named "Beggar."

And this guy may be a leader of the Musicians Association, or a relative of a leader of the Musicians Association.

This is also consistent with what the middle-aged man said just now.

"I understand, thank you. If there are any clues, please inform us as soon as possible." He still had to say thank you, so Gu Chen still exchanged greetings.

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone was also very polite. It could be seen that a music festival performance in a camping camp reflected the sophistication of human nature.

As an organizer, I can actually get the money from the band no matter what.

But the choice does not lie with you, but with the leaders of the Musicians Association.

Hence the term "beggar" in He Yongliang's mouth.

Gu Chen, who understood this, sighed heavily and adjusted himself after hanging up the phone.

Seeing this, the co-pilot Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "How is it?"

"The 'beggar' may be someone from the Musicians Association." Gu Chen said.

Officer Wang in the back row said quickly: "Then we have to go find Bai Xiaolan. Bai Xiaolan is quite familiar with people from these associations in the city."

"Moreover, every year, the TV station's various gala programs are almost all taken by members of the city's Musicians Association, and it has become a performance stage for those members of the Musicians Association."

"So, ask Bai Xiaolan about the situation. She should be able to help us."

"Yeah, find Bai Xiaolan, and let Bai Xiaolan help find that dirty-tailed 'beggar', maybe everything will come to light." Yuan Shasha on the side also agreed.

Gu Chen, who was lying on the driver's seat, also sighed softly and tried to adjust his breathing rhythm. Then he took out his mobile phone and said, "Let me ask."

The call was quickly connected, and Bai Xiaolan on the other end of the phone also smiled and said:

"Gu Chen, why do you call me when you have time? Do you need my help?"

"So you know?" Gu Chen also smiled slightly, feeling like he hadn't been in touch with this old friend for a long time.

And Bai Xiaolan also muttered angrily: "Do I still know? Director Gu usually doesn't take the initiative to find me, and even in the circle of friends, you don't even bother to like my beautiful pictures. It shows how busy you are? "

"Besides, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, but you will never take the initiative to call me when you have nothing to do. When you call, you will encounter a problem and want to ask me for help, right?"

"Haha, so that's it?" Seeing this image of himself in Bai Xiaolan's mind, Gu Chen also smiled awkwardly and said quickly:

"I don't usually look at Moments, and I don't have time to read other people's posts, so what? I'll check it out another day and give you the likes I missed before, how about that?"

"Oh, forget it, I'm joking with you, why do you still take it seriously?" Seeing how cute Gu Chen is sometimes silly, Bai Xiaolan quickly added:
"Then what? What do you want from me? Just tell me if you have something to do and see if I can help you."

"There is really something I want to ask you for help with." Seeing Bai Xiaolan relent, Gu Chen stopped hiding it and quickly explained the reason:
"The thing is like this, we are currently investigating a missing persons case, but it involves a man with yellow hair and dreadlocks."

"And this man, according to our investigation, may be from the Musicians Association."

"So? You want me to ask people from the Musicians Association about this man, right?" Bai Xiaolan roughly understood the reason after hearing this.

"Yeah." Gu Chen agreed and said quickly:

"This person, we currently suspect that he is from the Musicians Association, or that one of his relatives is the leader of the Musicians Association."

"It is a leader who can arrange for musicians from the Musicians Association or bands to participate in commercial performances."

"We don't want to alert the enemy yet, but this person is very crucial to the investigation of our case. We want to use your relationship to help make some insinuations."

"If the Musicians Association does not have this yellow-haired man with dreadlocks, then please help investigate. Which Musicians Association leader is he most likely to be a relative of?"

"Uh, can you be more specific? I'm taking notes right now." While listening to Gu Chen's various stories, Bai Xiaolan on the other side of the phone was taking notes seriously.

Gu Chen quickly added: "Isn't the newly opened East Lake Campground going to hold a music festival? Do you know about this?"

"I know, and our TV station will also send people there to shoot materials and report and publicize this matter."

After Bai Xiaolan paused briefly for a few seconds, she suddenly realized: "So Gu Chen, the leader of the Musicians Association you want me to help find is the person who can decide to perform at the East Lake Camp Music Festival, right?"

"Yes, this man with dreadlocks, his nickname, or stage name, may be 'Beggar'. He, or the connections behind him, may have the right to assign performers to the East Lake Camp Music Festival."

"Just follow this to investigate and find out who this guy called 'beggar' is? What is his contact information? Also, where is he now?"

"It seems a bit difficult." After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Bai Xiaolan also complained:
"It feels so complicated. It may take some time."

"It doesn't matter. Just try to hurry up. I'm waiting for your good news and I believe you can complete this task." Gu Chen said.

Bai Xiaolan on the other end of the phone sighed and said helplessly: "My Director Gu, you have so many demands, but don't worry, I will definitely help you complete the tasks you assigned."

"It's just that now I need to sort out my thoughts, think of a way, and ask my friends in the Musicians Association."

"After all, one of your requirements is not to alert others, right?"

"That's right." After listening to Bai Xiaolan's words, Gu Chen confirmed and said, "Don't let anyone notice."

"So, this is a bit difficult." Bai Xiaolan sighed quietly, and Bai Xiaolan on the phone also explained the truth:
"If you want to ask me to ask the people from the Musicians Association directly, it might be easier, but if you ask me secretly, it won't be noticed by others. This will take some time."

"I'll give you time." Gu Chen paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Can it be done in half an hour?"

"Brother, do you really think I'm a detective? Do you think too highly of me, Bai Xiaolan?" It felt like Gu Chen's hard target was too short, and Bai Xiaolan couldn't help but complain.

"Then... add 15 minutes? Can it be done in 45 minutes?" Gu Chen continued to bargain.

Bai Xiaolan on the other end of the phone was completely speechless by Gu Chen. She just sighed heavily and replied helplessly: "Then let's round up the number, an hour."

"Deal!" Gu Chen felt that he could accept it.
