I am a super cop
Chapter 2360 Shangguan Wu [2 in 1 Chapter]
Chapter 2360 Shangguan Wu [two in one chapter]
Seeing that Zhao Bo couldn't hide anything anymore, he seemed to have no lying skills at all in front of Gu Chen and others.
Zhao Bo was naturally willing to confess in exchange for some forgiveness.
Naturally, Gu Chen did not embarrass him and asked directly: "Speak for yourself, what is your relationship with these people?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter." Zhao Bo took a deep breath to calm down his nervousness, and then said slowly:
"Originally, I had nothing to do with this group of people. It can be said that they don't look down on people like me at all."
"But that night, I suddenly received a phone call from a stranger. The man, who was my brother-in-law, said he needed help from me."
"I didn't know who the other party was at the time. I didn't know what kind of help they were asking me to do."
"After communicating with each other later, I found out that what they meant was that there was an important watch that had been thrown into the trash can, but because it was in the Binjiang Road bar street, they were too embarrassed to look for it."
"So I was thinking if you could ask me for help. Let me drive the car to Wutong Road and give them some time to find the watch."
After saying this, Zhao Bo couldn't help but lower his head, and seemed to feel that he had failed.
Lu Weiwei continued to urge: "Keep talking, what happened next?"
"Later?" Zhao Bo hesitated for a few seconds and then said slowly:
"Then I thought they were playing tricks on me? It felt like they were joking with me. It didn't seem real."
"So, at first, I didn't pay much attention, and I didn't know how they got my mobile phone number."
"I also thought they were liars, so I told them that I couldn't help with this matter. After that, I hung up the phone."
"But not long after, the man called me again and asked me for a bank card account number. He said that if he didn't believe it, he could send me a sum of money now."
"I was stunned at the time, thinking that these scammers were really persistent. I reported a bank card account number and they would just transfer the money. Anyway, if they want the money back in the end, I won't suffer a loss."
"After thinking about it, I agreed, and then I applied for a bank card."
"Not long after, I received a notification on my phone and they directly called me 2000 yuan."
"Later, the phone call came again, and they told me, do they still think they are liars? The man said that although the watch was not valuable, it was very commemorative for him and his girlfriend. "
"But because he had a conflict with his girlfriend, he secretly threw the watch into the trash can. So he had no choice but to find out through investigation that I was responsible for the garbage collection work there."
"So, they wanted to ask me for help and asked me to drag the trash can directly to Wutong Road."
"Then what did you say?" Officer Wang asked.
Zhao Bo thought about it for a few seconds and quickly replied: "What did I say? I said, how about I help you look for it?"
"But he didn't agree and insisted that I drive the car to Wutong Road. He said that he often hung out in bars around Binjiang Road."
"It would be very embarrassing if those friends saw me rummaging through the trash."
"The man told me that he was willing to pay another 2000 yuan as a reward after the work was completed."
"I think my monthly salary is just that, so it would be nice to make some extra money."
"Besides, it's easy to park the car on Wutong Road. It's not a loss."
"Besides, the person was very sincere and didn't feel like he was lying, so I agreed."
After the voice fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Seeing that no one responded, Zhao Bo quickly said: "Comrade police, I really didn't lie to you. I don't know this person at all."
"I only agreed to do this for money. I didn't know at all in advance what exactly this person wanted to do?"
"I thought he simply wanted to get the watch back. It wasn't until later that I dragged the trash can to Wutong Road at the agreed time, and as expected, the man was waiting for me nearby."
"Keep talking." Seeing that Zhao Bo seemed to be at his wits end and told him almost everything, Yuan Shasha also urged him to continue explaining.
Zhao Bo nodded silently and continued: "I saw two people standing on the roadside at that time. Both of them were wearing peaked hats with the brim of their hats pressed very low."
"And both of them are wearing masks, which feels quite mysterious."
"One of them waved his hand at me and motioned for me to park the car at a fixed location."
"Then the man took out a pack of cigarettes, handed me one, took me to a corner and chatted with me."
"And the other guy walked directly towards my garbage truck, as if he was rummaging through something."
"Then you don't feel anything is wrong?" Officer Wang continued to ask.
Zhao Bo nodded fiercely: "Yes, I didn't feel anything was wrong at first? One of the people handed me cigarettes and chatted with me, but whenever I wanted to look back, he always pulled me to one side. .”
"It seemed that you didn't want me to see anything? I also felt that something was wrong at the time, so I asked the person, is it not a watch you are looking for?"
Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly turned his head: "What did that person say?"
"Haha, what else can I say?" Zhao Bo sighed and couldn't help but say:
"The man said, of course he was looking for a watch."
"But I told them bluntly, I don't feel like you are looking for a watch."
"But at this time, the man suddenly took out an envelope and stuffed it directly into me."
"I was stunned at the time, but soon I opened the envelope and looked at it. It was a full 2000 yuan. They did not break their promise."
"But at the same time, that person also noticed my concerns, and just warned me in a meaningful tone: Ask what I should ask, and don't ask what I shouldn't, so as not to cause trouble for myself."
"When I heard that person say this, I felt that they must not be simple. They could spend a full 4000 yuan to come to me for help."
"I knew they might be hiding something in the trash can."
"Wait a minute." Upon hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted Zhao Bo's words and continued to ask:
"You said you took the trash can directly to Wutong Road."
"But before that, haven't you looked at what's in the trash can?"
"No." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhao Bo retorted directly:
"At first I didn't look at what was in the bin because it all smelled bad."
"And I just took a few casual glances, and it was indeed all garbage, so I closed the door of the trash can."
"And I didn't want to stay there for too long, so I just followed the man's request and dragged the trash can to Wutong Road. I really didn't check the trash can."
"After all, they were talking about a monumental watch, thinking about something as small as a watch."
"If you throw it in the trash, it's really hard to find."
"Besides, I also thought that if they asked me for help, then they must have checked around the trash cans."
"It's because they didn't find the watch and there were bars around them. They didn't want to be seen by other acquaintances looking for things in the trash, so they chose to spend 4000 yuan to ask me for help."
After a pause, Zhao Bo also said seriously: "That's what I thought at the time. Other than that, I don't have any second thoughts."
"Okay, keep talking." After hearing what Zhao Bo said, Officer Wang continued to urge.
Zhao Bo nodded silently, thought about it for a few seconds, and continued:
"Later, whenever I wanted to look back, I was stopped by that person. He isolated me in a corner so that I could not see my garbage truck clearly."
"Although I can see that they are definitely not looking for that watch, I have already received 4000 yuan. This is real money and they did not lie to me."
"I thought I was just doing you a favor and I would leave after I finished doing it, so I didn't think too much about it at the time."
"Then, probably not long after, they seemed to have finished the search."
"When the guy standing opposite me got the call alert, he just tapped me on the shoulder, said 'thank you' and left quickly."
"When I came to my senses, I quickly returned to the garbage truck, but the man who was looking for the garbage bin had long since disappeared."
"I knew they had already left, so I didn't want to stay here for too long, so I drove away."
"After that, I didn't feel any problem for a few days. I felt that this matter should be no problem."
"But then, you guys showed up, so I guessed that you came to me this time because of what happened last time."
Seeing that Zhao Bo's explanation was quite specific, Gu Chen took out his phone, showed the photo of the red-haired man in front of him, and asked:
"One of the men, is this him?"
Zhao Bo squinted his eyes and shook his head: "I'm sorry, they were wrapped tightly that day, and it was early in the morning. I really can't see their general appearance clearly."
"Anyway, there are two of them. They are tall and thin. I don't know much about the others."
"Where's the accent?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Accent? Local accent, probably from the fringe areas of Jiangnan City."
"In other words, with a local accent and some foreign accents?" Yuan Shasha asked him confirmingly.
Zhao Bo nodded silently: "It's more or less the same. He speaks with some local accent, but it's not pure, so I also guess that it may belong to the transition zone between Jiangnan City and other cities."
"Very good." After hearing Zhao Bo's words, Yuan Shasha recorded all this and asked again:
"Then let me ask you, which direction did they leave after that?"
"Maybe it's the path on the right side of Wutong Road, which is the path on the right when I drive to the Zhongshan Road garbage transfer station."
"That road is the road between two communities. That's all I know."
"Very good." After finishing the record, Yuan Shasha glanced at Gu Chen in the row in front of her, and Gu Chen said:
"Then take us there now, is there any problem?"
"Uh." Zhao Bo was obviously hesitant when he heard what Gu Chen said.
Lu Weiwei raised her eyebrows: "What? Is there a problem?"
"No...no, but I need to hand over the shift and let someone take over my subsequent work."
"I can negotiate this, and I'll help you ask for leave." After finishing his words, Officer Wang opened the car door and walked towards the Zhongshan Road garbage transfer station.
Not long after, Officer Wang returned to the car with a relaxed pace.
When the car door closed, Officer Wang also said confidently: "It's done. Your colleagues told me that they can help you with your work. You come with us now."
"Okay... okay." Seeing that the police had finished handling the matter, Zhao Bo knew that he was doomed, so he sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.
Afterwards, Gu Chen started the vehicle and started driving towards Wutong Road.
In the car, Zhao Bo also looked remorseful and couldn't help but mutter:
"If I had known I would get into all this trouble, I shouldn't have agreed to that person's request."
"It's all my fault, greed, for getting myself into trouble for 4000 yuan."
With a sigh, Zhao Bo also raised his head and said: "Comrade police, actually, I am really not the same as them. You must believe me."
"We have nothing to say about this. It depends on your performance. In addition, we will verify your situation. If it has nothing to do with you, then you will naturally be fine."
After finishing her words, Yuan Shasha glanced at Zhao Bo beside her, and then continued:
"So, when we get to Wutong Road later, I also hope that you can cooperate with our investigation and don't play tricks with us."
"Of course." After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Zhao Bo also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that there is still room for salvation.
The vehicle stopped steadily on Wutong Road.
Since this time we were traveling to and from Wutong Road, the road Zhao Bo mentioned was now on the left side of the vehicle.
Zhao Bo also pointed to the road ahead through the window and said, "They should leave from this road."
"At that time, another person isolated me at the corner of the community, right there."
"Then by the time the person who isolated me left, the other person had disappeared."
"I watched the person who isolated me leave from this alley."
"Get out of the car." After listening to Zhao Bo's explanation, Gu Chen gave the order and everyone quickly got out of the car.
Zhao Bo was also sandwiched between Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha and was taken to the intersection.
Later, Lu Weiwei took out her mobile phone and asked Zhao Bo to point to the location of the crime and take photos to collect evidence based on the scene.
After completing these procedures, Gu Chen took the lead and walked towards the path first.
Because the terrain here is somewhat undulating, the communities on both sides are actually on a downhill slope.
And this path also goes down along the terrain.
The further down Gu Chen went, the higher the community wall became.
When Gu Chen came to the end of the path, there was an intersection.
The area where the road extends is in ruins.
Inside are various demolished old community buildings and some buildings that look like factories.
Officer Wang came to Gu Chen and quickly explained to Gu Chen:
"This place used to be the office area of several units, but it was later demolished."
"There are also several institutions that have been uniformly arranged to build new office buildings and living areas at the end of Jiangnan Lake Road." "So, this area will naturally be demolished, but it seems that it has been planned and the land has been Sold.”
"After that, some commercial housing developments and schools will be built here, and that's the specifics."
"Yes." After listening to Officer Wang's introduction, Gu Chen just nodded slightly and walked to a higher area. Then, he grabbed the damaged wall building with both hands and climbed directly to a commanding height.
From a high position, Gu Chen could see everything around him. After staying above and observing for a long time, Gu Chen suddenly felt that the route to this place was somewhat unclear.
"Junior Brother Gu, how are you?" Lu Weiwei, who had been standing below to observe Gu Chen, asked.
Gu Chen shook his head, jumped down from the commanding heights, and came to Lu Weiwei:
"The terrain of this place is chaotic, and the roads are spread out like a spider web, in a mess."
"Really? In this case, it will be difficult for us to find the whereabouts of those two people?" Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Yuan Shasha on the side also became worried.
Gu Chen sighed and nodded silently, but said nothing.
Officer Wang complained a little: "This group of people is really not simple. All the plans seem to be closely planned."
"It feels like it has been discussed in advance. Everything seems to be reasonable."
"The monk can't leave the temple."
Gu Chen was silent for a few seconds, then walked up to Officer Wang again and said:
"Take this Zhao Bo back first, and we will discuss the rest later."
"No problem." Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to have his own opinion in mind, Officer Wang didn't ask any more questions.
Afterwards, Zhao Bo was escorted back to the vehicle.
Everyone drove the vehicle back to Furong Branch, and Zhao Bo was taken to the interrogation room by other police officers for further questioning.
Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha back to the office.
At this moment, He Junchao was still doing investigations there.
Seeing that Gu Chen's team had returned, He Junchao also complained: "Gu Chen, this red-haired man, I have found no trace of him."
"I suspect that he already sensed something was wrong and had already hid somewhere beforehand."
"Moreover, I feel that these people committed the crime in a gang, and the division of labor is relatively clear."
"That's for sure." Gu Chen picked up the thermos cup on the table, unscrewed the cap, drank a few sips of water, and then said:
"We just went to see the driver of the garbage truck, and he also admitted that he received a favor fee of 4000 yuan."
"Moreover, according to the specific information provided by the driver Zhao Bo, he was found on Wutong Road by two tall, thin men wrapped tightly."
"And during the process of searching for garbage, one of the people deliberately isolated him so that he could not see the search of the garbage bin."
"And the driver himself knew that his group must be doing some illegal activities."
After a pause, Gu Chen also sighed, and then said: "If we say that this group of people committed the crime as a gang, they will have to go through a lot of trouble to confuse the direction of our police investigation."
"It can be seen that the missing Hu Zhe seems to have a close interest in them."
"Vujicic may have mastered some secrets of this gang, so he was murdered by this gang."
"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Yuan Shasha also echoed:
"The circumstances of Vujicic's disappearance are so strange. He crawled out of the ventilation duct of the bar toilet. It was obviously because he saw the red-haired man on the dance floor."
"He knew that the red-haired man came to see him, and he was very aware of his situation at the time. If he was caught by the red-haired man, he might be in danger."
"That's why Vujicic made a surprising decision, which was to climb directly outside the bar through the ventilation duct of the bar toilet."
"But the red-haired man was not a vegetarian. He quickly discovered the problem and chased him outside. He may have met Hu Zhe, and even killed Hu Zhe in a secret corner outside the bar."
"Then he hid Vujicic's body in a trash can and used some garbage as a cover."
"In order to prevent our police from discovering these traces during the investigation, it is believed that Hu Zicic swam across the river by himself. They even did not hesitate to cover up a trick of swimming across the river in front of the swimming master."
"Actually, I just wanted to put on a good show and turn the fake into real, so that we, the police, would completely believe that Vujicic disappeared while swimming."
After a pause, Yuan Shasha also sighed and said: "In this way, all the investigations we will conduct in the future will focus on searching for Hu Zhe's body in the water. In this way, the direction of the investigation will be completely wrong."
Glancing at Gu Chen in front of her, Yuan Shasha added, "Fortunately, Senior Brother Gu discovered the problem in time and discovered the loopholes."
"Otherwise, we would never have thought that Vujicic might have been hidden in a trash can outside the bar and then transported to Wutong Road in a garbage truck."
"They then stole Hu Zhe's body from the middle. In this way, they did it perfectly."
"It's a pity that they met a super policeman like Senior Brother Gu."
"Let's not talk about this for now." After listening to Yuan Shasha's analysis, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted:
"The red-haired man must not be in public now. I think these people must be very aware of their current situation."
"If Vujicic's disappearance is the result of a group crime, then no matter what the situation is, I must find out the truth."
After a pause, Gu Chen looked back at He Junchao and said:
"Senior Brother He, please find out for me the unit where this red-haired man works. I will go to the red-haired man's unit to check the specific situation."
"Gu Chen, if you go there in person, wouldn't you actually be alerting the enemy?"
"Does this expose the fact that we are investigating them?" Seeing that Gu Chen wanted to find the red-haired man, He Junchao also reminded him.
But Gu Chen calmly replied: "If we want to find a breakthrough now, we can only start from this point."
"If we don't go there to understand the situation in person, we will never get first-hand clues."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued to analyze the pros and cons with everyone:
"Although we have investigated them in the past, we will let them know clearly that their little tricks have actually been discovered by us."
“They may be more cautious, but in fact, the more cautious they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes.”
"As long as we keep an eye on them, they will naturally get into trouble. By then, it will only be a matter of time before we find the red-haired man."
"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen's insistence, He Junchao no longer pressed.
He knew Gu Chen's style of handling cases. Gu Chen always had his own solution to every case.
He Junchao does not need to worry about this.
Therefore, He Junchao immediately started to click on the previously searched information directly to the location of the computer page and said:
"This red-haired man works at Rongda Pawn Shop."
"Why is it a pawn shop?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, her face was filled with doubts.
He Junchao quickly explained: "This pawn shop is just a cover. They actually do some other businesses behind the scenes."
"But these businesses are all conducted privately, including mortgaging items, and there is a lot of trouble in this."
Seeing that Lu Weiwei didn't seem to know much about this aspect, He Junchao instantly became a master and hurriedly asked Lu Weiwei to learn more about it.
For example, if someone wants to mortgage some of their family heirlooms, these are property mortgages.
"Because they are in urgent need of money, they will sign a contract after conducting a value assessment at a pawn shop, and then use the money given by the pawn shop to meet emergencies."
"This is just basic stuff. In fact, pawn shops don't make much money at all from these businesses."
"What pawn shops really make money from are the big items, such as real estate, and the stock options in some people's hands, which are all relatively valuable."
"Of course, pawn shops also charge a certain fee, and there is a lot of skill there. Most people actually borrow money at usury."
"They will also breed some online loan businesses..."
"That's right." While listening to He Junchao's explanation, Gu Chen couldn't help but said:
"Actually, I had a conversation with Zhang Ying, that is, Hu Zhe once had a conflict with an online loan boss, and this pawn shop should belong to that boss."
"The red-haired man is the boss's bill collector. He is an errand boy."
"I don't know how much grievances Hu Zhe still has with this boss, but at least the relationship between the two is not as simple as imagined."
"What I need to master now is the secret behind this boss."
"I want to know how many secrets Vujicic knew about him? That led to Vujicic being murdered."
After a pause, Gu Chen saw He Junchao staying where he was and continued to remind: "Senior Brother He."
"Ah?" He Junchao reacted and nodded quickly in response:
"Oh, yes, then I will investigate the boss behind the scenes carefully."
"The public information available now is that the owner of this pawn shop is named Shangguan Wu. He has many industries, and the pawn shop is just one of them. It should also be his most profitable industry."
"Of course, if you go to this Rongda pawn shop, you should also be able to find Shangguan Wu."
"Okay, in addition, Senior Brother He sent Shangguan Wu's personal information to our work group. I will go to Rongda Pawn Shop now."
Gu Chen puts efficiency first. With the known clues, Gu Chen doesn't want to waste too much time here, so he has to take Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to go to the Rongda Pawn Shop to find out.
……
……
After leaving Furong Branch and driving for about 40 minutes, we found the Rongda Pawn Shop on an old commercial street.
"The pawn shop's office area is on the second floor of the shop, which is accessed by a staircase."
The sign is also hung in a prominent position, and there is a clothing store downstairs.
So Gu Chen and others walked along the stairs to the second floor.
Since this is an old commercial street, every inch of land is at a premium.
The area on the second floor is often larger than the first floor.
The shops on the first floor are often divided into two and become several shops.
"Ding dong! Welcome."
When Gu Chen and others arrived at the glass door, the automatic prompt system of Rongda Pawn Shop was triggered.
A female receptionist who was lying on the counter quickly noticed the people in front of her and quickly looked up.
Seeing this, Gu Chen consciously walked in.
The sensor door immediately opened.
"Hello." Gu Chen stepped forward to greet the female receptionist.
"Hello." Seeing Gu Chen's extraordinary appearance, the female receptionist also smiled: "How can I help you?"
"Is this person from your place?" Lu Weiwei, who was beside Gu Chen, took out her phone and showed the photo of the red-haired man in front of her.
The female receptionist squinted her eyes and her face immediately turned ugly.
"Is he a staff member here?" Officer Wang continued to urge when he saw the female receptionist didn't respond.
The female receptionist was a little embarrassed and could only shake her head in denial: "Sorry, I don't know this person. He shouldn't be one of our staff here."
"Probably not?" Listening to the vague words of the female receptionist, Yuan Shasha also noticed something fishy and quickly stepped forward and said:
"Isn't he the person in charge of collecting accounts here? How come you don't recognize him?"
"I really don't know him." Faced with Yuan Shasha's questioning, the female receptionist still had a straight face and shook her head in denial.
Officer Wang made a "tsk" sound and said with a smile: "Beauty, we are from Furong Branch." Officer Wang first took out his police card, and then said:
"Now we are investigating a case. This case is very important. During the investigation, we discovered that this red-haired man is actually your Rongda Pawn Shop, who is responsible for the collection business."
Looking around, Officer Wang added, "If we didn't investigate, we wouldn't be here. So, please cooperate with us. There is nothing to hide."
Seeing what Officer Wang said, the female receptionist, who knew she couldn't hide it, also pretended not to know:
"Comrade police, I have never seen this person before. You also said that he may be the salesperson responsible for collecting accounts at our pawn shop."
"However, he is indeed not on the staff list of our pawn shop."
"If he is really our staff here, he should be in another unit. Our store here is the business department."
"So, I don't know much about his department, so it's useless for you to ask me about it."
"It's useless to ask you, then who can be useful? Is it useful to ask your boss, Shangguan Wu?" Gu Chen also got straight to the point.
The female receptionist seems a little overwhelmed, but being able to be the receptionist in a pawn shop, especially in a pawn shop with a person like Shangguan Wu, must be a powerful role.
Facing Gu Chen and the others, the female receptionist calmly faced them and seemed to be unhurried.
When he heard Gu Chen say the name of his boss Shangguan Wu, he just smiled and explained:
"If you want to find boss Shangguan Wu, I can give you a phone number and you can contact him yourself."

(End of this chapter)
Seeing that Zhao Bo couldn't hide anything anymore, he seemed to have no lying skills at all in front of Gu Chen and others.
Zhao Bo was naturally willing to confess in exchange for some forgiveness.
Naturally, Gu Chen did not embarrass him and asked directly: "Speak for yourself, what is your relationship with these people?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter." Zhao Bo took a deep breath to calm down his nervousness, and then said slowly:
"Originally, I had nothing to do with this group of people. It can be said that they don't look down on people like me at all."
"But that night, I suddenly received a phone call from a stranger. The man, who was my brother-in-law, said he needed help from me."
"I didn't know who the other party was at the time. I didn't know what kind of help they were asking me to do."
"After communicating with each other later, I found out that what they meant was that there was an important watch that had been thrown into the trash can, but because it was in the Binjiang Road bar street, they were too embarrassed to look for it."
"So I was thinking if you could ask me for help. Let me drive the car to Wutong Road and give them some time to find the watch."
After saying this, Zhao Bo couldn't help but lower his head, and seemed to feel that he had failed.
Lu Weiwei continued to urge: "Keep talking, what happened next?"
"Later?" Zhao Bo hesitated for a few seconds and then said slowly:
"Then I thought they were playing tricks on me? It felt like they were joking with me. It didn't seem real."
"So, at first, I didn't pay much attention, and I didn't know how they got my mobile phone number."
"I also thought they were liars, so I told them that I couldn't help with this matter. After that, I hung up the phone."
"But not long after, the man called me again and asked me for a bank card account number. He said that if he didn't believe it, he could send me a sum of money now."
"I was stunned at the time, thinking that these scammers were really persistent. I reported a bank card account number and they would just transfer the money. Anyway, if they want the money back in the end, I won't suffer a loss."
"After thinking about it, I agreed, and then I applied for a bank card."
"Not long after, I received a notification on my phone and they directly called me 2000 yuan."
"Later, the phone call came again, and they told me, do they still think they are liars? The man said that although the watch was not valuable, it was very commemorative for him and his girlfriend. "
"But because he had a conflict with his girlfriend, he secretly threw the watch into the trash can. So he had no choice but to find out through investigation that I was responsible for the garbage collection work there."
"So, they wanted to ask me for help and asked me to drag the trash can directly to Wutong Road."
"Then what did you say?" Officer Wang asked.
Zhao Bo thought about it for a few seconds and quickly replied: "What did I say? I said, how about I help you look for it?"
"But he didn't agree and insisted that I drive the car to Wutong Road. He said that he often hung out in bars around Binjiang Road."
"It would be very embarrassing if those friends saw me rummaging through the trash."
"The man told me that he was willing to pay another 2000 yuan as a reward after the work was completed."
"I think my monthly salary is just that, so it would be nice to make some extra money."
"Besides, it's easy to park the car on Wutong Road. It's not a loss."
"Besides, the person was very sincere and didn't feel like he was lying, so I agreed."
After the voice fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Seeing that no one responded, Zhao Bo quickly said: "Comrade police, I really didn't lie to you. I don't know this person at all."
"I only agreed to do this for money. I didn't know at all in advance what exactly this person wanted to do?"
"I thought he simply wanted to get the watch back. It wasn't until later that I dragged the trash can to Wutong Road at the agreed time, and as expected, the man was waiting for me nearby."
"Keep talking." Seeing that Zhao Bo seemed to be at his wits end and told him almost everything, Yuan Shasha also urged him to continue explaining.
Zhao Bo nodded silently and continued: "I saw two people standing on the roadside at that time. Both of them were wearing peaked hats with the brim of their hats pressed very low."
"And both of them are wearing masks, which feels quite mysterious."
"One of them waved his hand at me and motioned for me to park the car at a fixed location."
"Then the man took out a pack of cigarettes, handed me one, took me to a corner and chatted with me."
"And the other guy walked directly towards my garbage truck, as if he was rummaging through something."
"Then you don't feel anything is wrong?" Officer Wang continued to ask.
Zhao Bo nodded fiercely: "Yes, I didn't feel anything was wrong at first? One of the people handed me cigarettes and chatted with me, but whenever I wanted to look back, he always pulled me to one side. .”
"It seemed that you didn't want me to see anything? I also felt that something was wrong at the time, so I asked the person, is it not a watch you are looking for?"
Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly turned his head: "What did that person say?"
"Haha, what else can I say?" Zhao Bo sighed and couldn't help but say:
"The man said, of course he was looking for a watch."
"But I told them bluntly, I don't feel like you are looking for a watch."
"But at this time, the man suddenly took out an envelope and stuffed it directly into me."
"I was stunned at the time, but soon I opened the envelope and looked at it. It was a full 2000 yuan. They did not break their promise."
"But at the same time, that person also noticed my concerns, and just warned me in a meaningful tone: Ask what I should ask, and don't ask what I shouldn't, so as not to cause trouble for myself."
"When I heard that person say this, I felt that they must not be simple. They could spend a full 4000 yuan to come to me for help."
"I knew they might be hiding something in the trash can."
"Wait a minute." Upon hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted Zhao Bo's words and continued to ask:
"You said you took the trash can directly to Wutong Road."
"But before that, haven't you looked at what's in the trash can?"
"No." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhao Bo retorted directly:
"At first I didn't look at what was in the bin because it all smelled bad."
"And I just took a few casual glances, and it was indeed all garbage, so I closed the door of the trash can."
"And I didn't want to stay there for too long, so I just followed the man's request and dragged the trash can to Wutong Road. I really didn't check the trash can."
"After all, they were talking about a monumental watch, thinking about something as small as a watch."
"If you throw it in the trash, it's really hard to find."
"Besides, I also thought that if they asked me for help, then they must have checked around the trash cans."
"It's because they didn't find the watch and there were bars around them. They didn't want to be seen by other acquaintances looking for things in the trash, so they chose to spend 4000 yuan to ask me for help."
After a pause, Zhao Bo also said seriously: "That's what I thought at the time. Other than that, I don't have any second thoughts."
"Okay, keep talking." After hearing what Zhao Bo said, Officer Wang continued to urge.
Zhao Bo nodded silently, thought about it for a few seconds, and continued:
"Later, whenever I wanted to look back, I was stopped by that person. He isolated me in a corner so that I could not see my garbage truck clearly."
"Although I can see that they are definitely not looking for that watch, I have already received 4000 yuan. This is real money and they did not lie to me."
"I thought I was just doing you a favor and I would leave after I finished doing it, so I didn't think too much about it at the time."
"Then, probably not long after, they seemed to have finished the search."
"When the guy standing opposite me got the call alert, he just tapped me on the shoulder, said 'thank you' and left quickly."
"When I came to my senses, I quickly returned to the garbage truck, but the man who was looking for the garbage bin had long since disappeared."
"I knew they had already left, so I didn't want to stay here for too long, so I drove away."
"After that, I didn't feel any problem for a few days. I felt that this matter should be no problem."
"But then, you guys showed up, so I guessed that you came to me this time because of what happened last time."
Seeing that Zhao Bo's explanation was quite specific, Gu Chen took out his phone, showed the photo of the red-haired man in front of him, and asked:
"One of the men, is this him?"
Zhao Bo squinted his eyes and shook his head: "I'm sorry, they were wrapped tightly that day, and it was early in the morning. I really can't see their general appearance clearly."
"Anyway, there are two of them. They are tall and thin. I don't know much about the others."
"Where's the accent?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Accent? Local accent, probably from the fringe areas of Jiangnan City."
"In other words, with a local accent and some foreign accents?" Yuan Shasha asked him confirmingly.
Zhao Bo nodded silently: "It's more or less the same. He speaks with some local accent, but it's not pure, so I also guess that it may belong to the transition zone between Jiangnan City and other cities."
"Very good." After hearing Zhao Bo's words, Yuan Shasha recorded all this and asked again:
"Then let me ask you, which direction did they leave after that?"
"Maybe it's the path on the right side of Wutong Road, which is the path on the right when I drive to the Zhongshan Road garbage transfer station."
"That road is the road between two communities. That's all I know."
"Very good." After finishing the record, Yuan Shasha glanced at Gu Chen in the row in front of her, and Gu Chen said:
"Then take us there now, is there any problem?"
"Uh." Zhao Bo was obviously hesitant when he heard what Gu Chen said.
Lu Weiwei raised her eyebrows: "What? Is there a problem?"
"No...no, but I need to hand over the shift and let someone take over my subsequent work."
"I can negotiate this, and I'll help you ask for leave." After finishing his words, Officer Wang opened the car door and walked towards the Zhongshan Road garbage transfer station.
Not long after, Officer Wang returned to the car with a relaxed pace.
When the car door closed, Officer Wang also said confidently: "It's done. Your colleagues told me that they can help you with your work. You come with us now."
"Okay... okay." Seeing that the police had finished handling the matter, Zhao Bo knew that he was doomed, so he sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.
Afterwards, Gu Chen started the vehicle and started driving towards Wutong Road.
In the car, Zhao Bo also looked remorseful and couldn't help but mutter:
"If I had known I would get into all this trouble, I shouldn't have agreed to that person's request."
"It's all my fault, greed, for getting myself into trouble for 4000 yuan."
With a sigh, Zhao Bo also raised his head and said: "Comrade police, actually, I am really not the same as them. You must believe me."
"We have nothing to say about this. It depends on your performance. In addition, we will verify your situation. If it has nothing to do with you, then you will naturally be fine."
After finishing her words, Yuan Shasha glanced at Zhao Bo beside her, and then continued:
"So, when we get to Wutong Road later, I also hope that you can cooperate with our investigation and don't play tricks with us."
"Of course." After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Zhao Bo also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that there is still room for salvation.
The vehicle stopped steadily on Wutong Road.
Since this time we were traveling to and from Wutong Road, the road Zhao Bo mentioned was now on the left side of the vehicle.
Zhao Bo also pointed to the road ahead through the window and said, "They should leave from this road."
"At that time, another person isolated me at the corner of the community, right there."
"Then by the time the person who isolated me left, the other person had disappeared."
"I watched the person who isolated me leave from this alley."
"Get out of the car." After listening to Zhao Bo's explanation, Gu Chen gave the order and everyone quickly got out of the car.
Zhao Bo was also sandwiched between Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha and was taken to the intersection.
Later, Lu Weiwei took out her mobile phone and asked Zhao Bo to point to the location of the crime and take photos to collect evidence based on the scene.
After completing these procedures, Gu Chen took the lead and walked towards the path first.
Because the terrain here is somewhat undulating, the communities on both sides are actually on a downhill slope.
And this path also goes down along the terrain.
The further down Gu Chen went, the higher the community wall became.
When Gu Chen came to the end of the path, there was an intersection.
The area where the road extends is in ruins.
Inside are various demolished old community buildings and some buildings that look like factories.
Officer Wang came to Gu Chen and quickly explained to Gu Chen:
"This place used to be the office area of several units, but it was later demolished."
"There are also several institutions that have been uniformly arranged to build new office buildings and living areas at the end of Jiangnan Lake Road." "So, this area will naturally be demolished, but it seems that it has been planned and the land has been Sold.”
"After that, some commercial housing developments and schools will be built here, and that's the specifics."
"Yes." After listening to Officer Wang's introduction, Gu Chen just nodded slightly and walked to a higher area. Then, he grabbed the damaged wall building with both hands and climbed directly to a commanding height.
From a high position, Gu Chen could see everything around him. After staying above and observing for a long time, Gu Chen suddenly felt that the route to this place was somewhat unclear.
"Junior Brother Gu, how are you?" Lu Weiwei, who had been standing below to observe Gu Chen, asked.
Gu Chen shook his head, jumped down from the commanding heights, and came to Lu Weiwei:
"The terrain of this place is chaotic, and the roads are spread out like a spider web, in a mess."
"Really? In this case, it will be difficult for us to find the whereabouts of those two people?" Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Yuan Shasha on the side also became worried.
Gu Chen sighed and nodded silently, but said nothing.
Officer Wang complained a little: "This group of people is really not simple. All the plans seem to be closely planned."
"It feels like it has been discussed in advance. Everything seems to be reasonable."
"The monk can't leave the temple."
Gu Chen was silent for a few seconds, then walked up to Officer Wang again and said:
"Take this Zhao Bo back first, and we will discuss the rest later."
"No problem." Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to have his own opinion in mind, Officer Wang didn't ask any more questions.
Afterwards, Zhao Bo was escorted back to the vehicle.
Everyone drove the vehicle back to Furong Branch, and Zhao Bo was taken to the interrogation room by other police officers for further questioning.
Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha back to the office.
At this moment, He Junchao was still doing investigations there.
Seeing that Gu Chen's team had returned, He Junchao also complained: "Gu Chen, this red-haired man, I have found no trace of him."
"I suspect that he already sensed something was wrong and had already hid somewhere beforehand."
"Moreover, I feel that these people committed the crime in a gang, and the division of labor is relatively clear."
"That's for sure." Gu Chen picked up the thermos cup on the table, unscrewed the cap, drank a few sips of water, and then said:
"We just went to see the driver of the garbage truck, and he also admitted that he received a favor fee of 4000 yuan."
"Moreover, according to the specific information provided by the driver Zhao Bo, he was found on Wutong Road by two tall, thin men wrapped tightly."
"And during the process of searching for garbage, one of the people deliberately isolated him so that he could not see the search of the garbage bin."
"And the driver himself knew that his group must be doing some illegal activities."
After a pause, Gu Chen also sighed, and then said: "If we say that this group of people committed the crime as a gang, they will have to go through a lot of trouble to confuse the direction of our police investigation."
"It can be seen that the missing Hu Zhe seems to have a close interest in them."
"Vujicic may have mastered some secrets of this gang, so he was murdered by this gang."
"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Yuan Shasha also echoed:
"The circumstances of Vujicic's disappearance are so strange. He crawled out of the ventilation duct of the bar toilet. It was obviously because he saw the red-haired man on the dance floor."
"He knew that the red-haired man came to see him, and he was very aware of his situation at the time. If he was caught by the red-haired man, he might be in danger."
"That's why Vujicic made a surprising decision, which was to climb directly outside the bar through the ventilation duct of the bar toilet."
"But the red-haired man was not a vegetarian. He quickly discovered the problem and chased him outside. He may have met Hu Zhe, and even killed Hu Zhe in a secret corner outside the bar."
"Then he hid Vujicic's body in a trash can and used some garbage as a cover."
"In order to prevent our police from discovering these traces during the investigation, it is believed that Hu Zicic swam across the river by himself. They even did not hesitate to cover up a trick of swimming across the river in front of the swimming master."
"Actually, I just wanted to put on a good show and turn the fake into real, so that we, the police, would completely believe that Vujicic disappeared while swimming."
After a pause, Yuan Shasha also sighed and said: "In this way, all the investigations we will conduct in the future will focus on searching for Hu Zhe's body in the water. In this way, the direction of the investigation will be completely wrong."
Glancing at Gu Chen in front of her, Yuan Shasha added, "Fortunately, Senior Brother Gu discovered the problem in time and discovered the loopholes."
"Otherwise, we would never have thought that Vujicic might have been hidden in a trash can outside the bar and then transported to Wutong Road in a garbage truck."
"They then stole Hu Zhe's body from the middle. In this way, they did it perfectly."
"It's a pity that they met a super policeman like Senior Brother Gu."
"Let's not talk about this for now." After listening to Yuan Shasha's analysis, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted:
"The red-haired man must not be in public now. I think these people must be very aware of their current situation."
"If Vujicic's disappearance is the result of a group crime, then no matter what the situation is, I must find out the truth."
After a pause, Gu Chen looked back at He Junchao and said:
"Senior Brother He, please find out for me the unit where this red-haired man works. I will go to the red-haired man's unit to check the specific situation."
"Gu Chen, if you go there in person, wouldn't you actually be alerting the enemy?"
"Does this expose the fact that we are investigating them?" Seeing that Gu Chen wanted to find the red-haired man, He Junchao also reminded him.
But Gu Chen calmly replied: "If we want to find a breakthrough now, we can only start from this point."
"If we don't go there to understand the situation in person, we will never get first-hand clues."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued to analyze the pros and cons with everyone:
"Although we have investigated them in the past, we will let them know clearly that their little tricks have actually been discovered by us."
“They may be more cautious, but in fact, the more cautious they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes.”
"As long as we keep an eye on them, they will naturally get into trouble. By then, it will only be a matter of time before we find the red-haired man."
"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen's insistence, He Junchao no longer pressed.
He knew Gu Chen's style of handling cases. Gu Chen always had his own solution to every case.
He Junchao does not need to worry about this.
Therefore, He Junchao immediately started to click on the previously searched information directly to the location of the computer page and said:
"This red-haired man works at Rongda Pawn Shop."
"Why is it a pawn shop?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, her face was filled with doubts.
He Junchao quickly explained: "This pawn shop is just a cover. They actually do some other businesses behind the scenes."
"But these businesses are all conducted privately, including mortgaging items, and there is a lot of trouble in this."
Seeing that Lu Weiwei didn't seem to know much about this aspect, He Junchao instantly became a master and hurriedly asked Lu Weiwei to learn more about it.
For example, if someone wants to mortgage some of their family heirlooms, these are property mortgages.
"Because they are in urgent need of money, they will sign a contract after conducting a value assessment at a pawn shop, and then use the money given by the pawn shop to meet emergencies."
"This is just basic stuff. In fact, pawn shops don't make much money at all from these businesses."
"What pawn shops really make money from are the big items, such as real estate, and the stock options in some people's hands, which are all relatively valuable."
"Of course, pawn shops also charge a certain fee, and there is a lot of skill there. Most people actually borrow money at usury."
"They will also breed some online loan businesses..."
"That's right." While listening to He Junchao's explanation, Gu Chen couldn't help but said:
"Actually, I had a conversation with Zhang Ying, that is, Hu Zhe once had a conflict with an online loan boss, and this pawn shop should belong to that boss."
"The red-haired man is the boss's bill collector. He is an errand boy."
"I don't know how much grievances Hu Zhe still has with this boss, but at least the relationship between the two is not as simple as imagined."
"What I need to master now is the secret behind this boss."
"I want to know how many secrets Vujicic knew about him? That led to Vujicic being murdered."
After a pause, Gu Chen saw He Junchao staying where he was and continued to remind: "Senior Brother He."
"Ah?" He Junchao reacted and nodded quickly in response:
"Oh, yes, then I will investigate the boss behind the scenes carefully."
"The public information available now is that the owner of this pawn shop is named Shangguan Wu. He has many industries, and the pawn shop is just one of them. It should also be his most profitable industry."
"Of course, if you go to this Rongda pawn shop, you should also be able to find Shangguan Wu."
"Okay, in addition, Senior Brother He sent Shangguan Wu's personal information to our work group. I will go to Rongda Pawn Shop now."
Gu Chen puts efficiency first. With the known clues, Gu Chen doesn't want to waste too much time here, so he has to take Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to go to the Rongda Pawn Shop to find out.
……
……
After leaving Furong Branch and driving for about 40 minutes, we found the Rongda Pawn Shop on an old commercial street.
"The pawn shop's office area is on the second floor of the shop, which is accessed by a staircase."
The sign is also hung in a prominent position, and there is a clothing store downstairs.
So Gu Chen and others walked along the stairs to the second floor.
Since this is an old commercial street, every inch of land is at a premium.
The area on the second floor is often larger than the first floor.
The shops on the first floor are often divided into two and become several shops.
"Ding dong! Welcome."
When Gu Chen and others arrived at the glass door, the automatic prompt system of Rongda Pawn Shop was triggered.
A female receptionist who was lying on the counter quickly noticed the people in front of her and quickly looked up.
Seeing this, Gu Chen consciously walked in.
The sensor door immediately opened.
"Hello." Gu Chen stepped forward to greet the female receptionist.
"Hello." Seeing Gu Chen's extraordinary appearance, the female receptionist also smiled: "How can I help you?"
"Is this person from your place?" Lu Weiwei, who was beside Gu Chen, took out her phone and showed the photo of the red-haired man in front of her.
The female receptionist squinted her eyes and her face immediately turned ugly.
"Is he a staff member here?" Officer Wang continued to urge when he saw the female receptionist didn't respond.
The female receptionist was a little embarrassed and could only shake her head in denial: "Sorry, I don't know this person. He shouldn't be one of our staff here."
"Probably not?" Listening to the vague words of the female receptionist, Yuan Shasha also noticed something fishy and quickly stepped forward and said:
"Isn't he the person in charge of collecting accounts here? How come you don't recognize him?"
"I really don't know him." Faced with Yuan Shasha's questioning, the female receptionist still had a straight face and shook her head in denial.
Officer Wang made a "tsk" sound and said with a smile: "Beauty, we are from Furong Branch." Officer Wang first took out his police card, and then said:
"Now we are investigating a case. This case is very important. During the investigation, we discovered that this red-haired man is actually your Rongda Pawn Shop, who is responsible for the collection business."
Looking around, Officer Wang added, "If we didn't investigate, we wouldn't be here. So, please cooperate with us. There is nothing to hide."
Seeing what Officer Wang said, the female receptionist, who knew she couldn't hide it, also pretended not to know:
"Comrade police, I have never seen this person before. You also said that he may be the salesperson responsible for collecting accounts at our pawn shop."
"However, he is indeed not on the staff list of our pawn shop."
"If he is really our staff here, he should be in another unit. Our store here is the business department."
"So, I don't know much about his department, so it's useless for you to ask me about it."
"It's useless to ask you, then who can be useful? Is it useful to ask your boss, Shangguan Wu?" Gu Chen also got straight to the point.
The female receptionist seems a little overwhelmed, but being able to be the receptionist in a pawn shop, especially in a pawn shop with a person like Shangguan Wu, must be a powerful role.
Facing Gu Chen and the others, the female receptionist calmly faced them and seemed to be unhurried.
When he heard Gu Chen say the name of his boss Shangguan Wu, he just smiled and explained:
"If you want to find boss Shangguan Wu, I can give you a phone number and you can contact him yourself."
