I am a super cop

Chapter 2368 Who is the confidant? 【Two in one chapter】

Xu Liang was very worried about his mistake in saying that there was no man's village. He felt that it was his carelessness that allowed the police to find the place where the crime occurred.

But who is the instigator behind Xu Liang?At present, Gu Chen's heart is biased towards Shangguan Wu.

After all, Shangguan Wu met all the suspect conditions, especially since Zhang Quan had been working for Shangguan Wu.

All these factors make the person behind this case seem logical.

Although Xu Liang said that he passively accepted this choice, Gu Chen knew that it was Xu Liang's greed that created everything.

If it weren't for those online loans and gambling games, Xu Liang probably wouldn't have embarked on this path.

"Xu Liang." Seeing Xu Liang still lowering his head in pain, Gu Chen reminded him: "You said that there have been several transfers to your account. Is this true?"

"That's right." Looking up at Gu Chen, how could Xu Liang dare to lie to Gu Chen at this moment?
Gu Chen nodded silently and said, "Okay, give me that account. I need your transfer records."

"Understood." At this moment, Xu Liang no longer hesitated. He immediately took out his mobile phone and began to follow Gu Chen's wishes and show the transfer records to Gu Chen for detailed information.

Gu Chen finished filming with his mobile phone and asked: "After the other party transferred the money to you, did you use all the money to pay off the debt?"

"Yes, I can't help it. I know the consequences of not paying back the money I owe." Xu Liang also confessed honestly, and then said:
"Oh, by the way, that person hasn't contacted me for a long time, and the agreed funds have not yet arrived."

"I guess there's a high probability that we won't be able to make it." After hearing what Xu Liang said, Lu Weiwei said unhappily:

"Xu Liang, can't you still see it? You have been taken advantage of, and the money given to you before was just bait."

"The other party just caught you and had no choice, so he asked you to work for him. Do you really think that guy will help you pay off all your debts?"

"Of course I don't believe it." Xu Liang, who sniffed and calmed down, couldn't help but said, "But I have no choice."

"That person was right what he said on the phone. I have no choice now. It doesn't matter if I don't believe him. I'm still finished."

"But he is willing to pay a deposit, which at least shows that he is sincere."

Looking up at the crowd, Xu Liang said again: "I also know that I am just a chess piece, but what about the chess piece?"

"Sometimes, I am willing to be the chess piece. If the chess pieces are well made, they can also play a big role."

"Especially, the other party still has a lot of things to do, that is, the dirty work you mentioned needs people to do it."

"Zhang Quan is dead, so these things will inevitably leave a vacancy."

"I also know that sooner or later he will be of use to me. Why don't I try my best?"

After the voice fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Gu Chen didn't want to argue with him?If you change the perspective and become Xu Liang's situation, maybe under extreme conditions, ordinary people will have the same thoughts as him.

After all, not everyone can be Gu Chen. Naturally, most people are just ordinary people.

"Okay." Gu Chen forwarded the collected information directly to He Junchao, then looked at Xu Liang and said, "Follow us to the Furong Branch. For the rest, you just need to cooperate honestly. good."

……

……

After coming out of the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau, Gu Chen's team took Xu Liang directly to Furong Branch.

Gu Chen also quickly came to the criminal investigation team office and found He Junchao.

At this time, He Junchao was still investigating the bank transfer situation.

Seeing that Gu Chen was already standing behind him, He Junchao quickly replied: "I have contacted the bank and asked my friends there to investigate the transfer records and found that these accounts must have been used by others."

"What's the specifics?" Gu Chen asked.

He Junchao continued: "For example, the account holder who first called Xu Liang the money was arrested once for illegally accepting large amounts of funds on behalf of others."

"But this time, I used this account again to call Xu Liang. Obviously, the account holder is doing transfer business for others again."

"Furthermore, according to my investigation and the analysis of the last case, I found that the person who opened the account did not have a high level of education. I feel that he agreed to transfer money purely for money."

"Furthermore, according to his last explanation, someone was holding cash and asked him to help transfer money, but who was the other person? He didn't know at all. He just transferred money for others and took a commission."

"Can I contact this person?" Gu Chen asked.

"Okay, I've asked Ji Zhe to find this person and find out what's going on. Ji Zhe is on duty nearby, so he should be able to find out the reason quickly."

"Okay." After hearing this reply, Gu Chen nodded silently and sat back in his seat.

Officer Wang held the thermos cup and said calmly: "If you ask me, the mastermind behind the scenes is really strange. I don't know what his purpose was in killing Zhang Quan? Is it really because Zhang Quan knew Too much?"

"Who knows?" Yuan Shasha stood up, came to Gu Chen, and reminded: "Brother Gu, do you think the mastermind behind this is Shangguan Wu?"

"It's very likely, right?" Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei shook her head: "Now we have no handle on him. This Shangguan Wu gives me the impression that he is very cautious in doing things and rarely shows any flaws."

"If we want to deal with the government and military, we have already alerted the enemy in advance. This guy will definitely be on guard against us."

Glancing in the direction of He Junchao, Lu Weiwei said again: "He Junchao, can you retrieve the call records between Xu Liang and that mysterious boss?"

"I've already checked it." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, He Junchao said truthfully:

"I have contacted the mobile phone operator and retrieved the relevant call records, but unfortunately, the other party seems to be a hacker."

"The phone number called Xu Liang is a virtual number and located abroad. But I definitely don't believe that this guy is abroad. He must have used some means."

"However, now the operator can't track the other party's specific information at all, but can only provide us with certain technical support through call records."

"Then play that recording and let us listen to it." Officer Wang took a sip of wolfberry tea and reminded him.

Without saying a word, He Junchao directly started to retrieve the relevant audio files and consciously sent them to the work group.

"The voice has been sent to the temporary work group." He Junchao reminded.

Everyone was not idle, so they directly started to open the work group and click on the relevant audio files.

After listening to the entire call, Gu Chen lay back on his seat, thinking about Xu Liang's previous dictation.

I feel that in that situation, the other party's tone of voice is indeed very similar to that of Guan Wu.

Moreover, the call records retrieved by He Junchao also had a time, which was noon the day before yesterday.

Zhang Quan died the night before yesterday. It can be seen that Xu Liang did not think too much when he decided to take action.

I received a call at noon and made an appointment in the woods in an uninhabited village in the evening.

The movement was so fast that Gu Chen shuddered.

"Does this Xu Liang really want to do this?" Gu Chen sighed, feeling a little helpless.

At this moment, He Junchao also retrieved some relevant information and reminded Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, I found something about Shangguan Wu at noon the day before yesterday. Do you want to take a look?"

Gu Chen didn't say anything, but stood up directly and walked to He Junchao's side.

Staring at the screen, Gu Chen asked, "Is this Shangguan Wu participating in an event?"

"Yes." He Junchao nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "At noon the day before yesterday, when Xu Liang received the call, Shangguan Wu was in this hotel and seemed to be attending some business event."

"I think such a high-end hotel should have surveillance everywhere. If, I mean if..."

"I understand." Before He Junchao could finish speaking, Gu Chen understood what He Junchao meant and couldn't help but say:
"You want to say, let me go to this hotel, pull out the surveillance video at that time, and compare the relevant times, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means." Seeing that Gu Chen already understood, He Junchao didn't have to explain himself and said quickly:

"As long as you can confirm that Shangguan Wu is indeed calling during this call time period, then the possibility that Shangguan Wu is the mastermind behind the call will be greatly increased. At least it means that the time is right."

"I understand." After receiving He Junchao's prompt, Gu Chen asked again: "What is the name of the hotel?"

"Lotus Hotel." He Junchao said.

Gu Chen picked up the single police equipment on the table and was about to leave.

When Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha saw this, they didn't say much. They each put down their teacups, then took off their equipment and followed Gu Chen closely.

Since it is already late at night, but for the hotel, it is open all night.

And this Lotus Hotel, everyone also checked on the road, it is a three-star hotel.

When Gu Chen and others came to the door of the hotel, a security officer in charge of the parking lot stepped forward and guided Gu Chen to the parking location.

After Gu Chen parked the car, he directly asked the security guard: "Where can I see the hotel's surveillance video here?"

"What do you want to see this for? Are you..."

Before the security uncle could finish his words, Gu Chen had already taken out his police card and showed it in front of the security uncle.

The security uncle's expression was stunned, then he slowly nodded and said politely: "So you are the police? The monitoring room of our security department is at the back of the first floor."

After he finished speaking, the security uncle pointed directly at the passage and reminded, "Go straight here, then turn left and you're there."

"Thank you." Gu Chen didn't want to waste too much time here, so he led everyone inside.

Following the security uncle's guidance, he quickly found the hotel's control room.

At this moment, two security guards were sitting there chatting about their daily lives.

I also noticed that Gu Chen and others quickly walked up to them. The two of them were still confused and did not react.

But after seeing the faces of Gu Chen and others, one of the tall and thin security guards also asked curiously: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"We are the police." Lu Weiwei directly took out her police card and reminded: "We need to retrieve the surveillance video of your hotel at noon the day before yesterday. We need to find someone."

"Uh... no problem." After a few seconds of hesitation, another fat security guard quickly agreed.

Afterwards, the two moved to another location and started looking for relevant dates according to Gu Chen's request.

"This is it." The tall and thin security guard moved skillfully and quickly found the relevant date.

Yuan Shasha reminded: "Retrieve the location of the gate."

"Okay." The tall and thin security guard obeyed and quickly transferred the surveillance footage to the hotel gate.

Officer Wang said: "The gate is located around 11 o'clock in the morning."

"Okay." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, the tall and thin security guard completed the operation.

Officer Wang bowed and began to watch.

The time came to 11:40 am.

A black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove up to the door of the hotel. Shangguan Wu, wearing a formal suit, got out of the driver's seat of the vehicle, then handed the key to a doorman at the door and motioned for help to park the car.

And he walked quickly towards the door.

"That's him, help me keep an eye on him and see where he's going?" Officer Wang reminded.

"No problem." Regarding this trivial matter, the tall and thin security guard acted skillfully and quickly targeted Shangguan Wu according to the police's request.And after constantly switching surveillance perspectives, Shangguan Wu was locked in a hall.

"This is it." The tall and thin security guard clicked the screen and reminded: "This person has gone to this hall, and an investment meeting is being held inside."

"I remember that many of the people who came to the investment conference that day were local business representatives, and there were quite a lot of people."

"You just need to keep an eye on this, and keep an eye on every move." Yuan Shasha reminded her, and took a look at the time on the screen.

Since the phone call between Natong and Xu Liang was at 12:30 noon, everyone urged the tall and thin security guard to speed up the video playback.

When the time came to 12:30 noon, everyone took their breath away from the screen without looking away from the screen for a moment.

12 points.

12 points.

12 points.

……

As time passed by, when everyone finished watching the video, they looked at each other in disbelief.

Lu Weiwei was also dumbfounded and said: "During this period, Shangguan Wu has been communicating with people and hasn't made any phone calls?"

"Yes, he made the last phone call at that time, and when he got off the car, he seemed to ask where exactly he was?" Yuan Shasha on the side also said.

Officer Wang held his chin thoughtfully: "Isn't it possible? Did we make a mistake?"

After a pause, Officer Wang looked at the two security guards again and asked, "There won't be any problems with your surveillance, right?"

"Are you kidding me? The surveillance cameras we have here are all of the latest models and were just replaced at the beginning of the year." The fat security guard vowed.

Gu Chen waved his hand: "There should be no problem with monitoring, because judging from other surveillance angles, Shangguan Wu was still communicating with people, and there was no trace of making phone calls during this period."

Looking up at the crowd, Gu Chen reminded him, "Let's go."

"Yeah." Officer Wang, who felt a little discouraged, couldn't help but sigh and was the first to walk out of the room.

Then came Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, both of whom were also extremely disappointed.

After Gu Chen nodded to the two security guards, he followed behind everyone.

Everyone came to the parking lot and returned to the car.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Officer Wang also held his chin and said in confusion: "How could this happen? It is obvious that the mastermind behind this is Shangguan Wu, but why? Why is Shangguan Wu not on the phone?"

"Could it be that Shangguan Wu asked someone else to make the call?" Yuan Shasha said.

Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "It's also possible."

Looking back at Gu Chen again, Lu Weiwei asked hurriedly: "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think?"

"If it was Shangguan Wu who called Xu Liang through someone else, then this person must be the person Shangguan Wu trusts the most."

"And this person must have deep interests tied to the government and military affairs."

"Could it be Shangguan Wu's girlfriend?" Officer Wang reminded: "Don't forget, Shangguan Wu has many girlfriends."

"Unlikely." Gu Chen shook his head and expressed his analysis: "According to our previous investigation, Shangguan Wu changed girlfriends very quickly."

"On average, each person follows Shangguan Wu for about 3 months, the shortest is half a month, and the longest is 5 months."

"It can be said that since Shangguan Wu changes girlfriends so quickly, he must not be happy with these girlfriends."

"Or maybe it's just Shangguan Wu and these women playing tricks on each other."

"But since it was just a joke, how could Shangguan Wu trust them?"

"That's right." After hearing Gu Chen's analysis, Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nodded in agreement:

"Junior brother Gu is absolutely right. Shangguan Wu will definitely not trust her girlfriends."

"If the matter of instigating murder is left to these women, he will indeed have an alibi and no phone calls."

"But have you ever thought about it? Once these clues fall on Shangguan Wu's girlfriends, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving your own clues into other people's hands?"

"If those women are following Shangguan Wu just for Shangguan Wu's money, then they will definitely use this thing to blackmail Shangguan Wu."

After a pause, Lu Weiwei also sighed and couldn't help but smile and said: "I don't think a person like Shangguan Wu would be stupid enough to do such a thing."

"You have to know, this guy is very smart."

"Yes, Shangguan Wu will never do such a high-risk stupid thing." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Wang also agreed.

After thinking for a few seconds, Officer Wang added: "However, for a scheming person like Shangguan Wu, he will definitely create an alibi for himself and the fact that he did not make a phone call."

"If this is to show our police, the means and methods are the same as those of Zhang Quan who was killed before."

Turning to look at everyone, Officer Wang also reminded: "Don't forget, when we were on the riverside of Binjiang Road in Bar Street, why couldn't we find Hu Zhe's body?"

"It's because these guys tried to hide the truth from us."

"Let Zhang Quan, who is good at swimming, take Hu Zhe's identity and swim across the river, so that our police will believe that the person who swam across the river that night was Hu Zhe, but it was actually Zhang Quan."

"After that, wouldn't this investigation clue be naturally grasped by our police?"

"So much so that we made the wrong investigation direction before, but it was all thanks to this guy."

"But when I think about it, Zhang Quan alone can design such a clever method of committing a crime. He has not studied for a few years."

"That makes sense." After listening to Officer Wang's analysis, Yuan Shasha, who was sitting next to him, folded her arms and expressed her own opinion:
"In my opinion, since Shangguan Wu is smart, he will definitely find ways to clear himself of the crime."

"If swimming across the river that night was a deception, then the disposal of this body was a stroke of genius."

"This is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Moreover, from beginning to end, Shangguan Wu had no contact with Zhang Quan and Xu Liang."

"Even if we want to investigate, we still don't know who their online contacts are?"

"Yeah." After listening to Yuan Shasha's analysis, Gu Chen also agreed:

"Xiao Yuan is right, and Senior Brother Wang is also right. This Shangguan Wu does have something."

"Moreover, from the beginning of our investigation, we felt that everything was carefully designed by this group of people."

"Every step of the way that we're investigating, there appears to be smoke and mirrors that they're deliberately releasing."

"Once a mistake is made, the direction of our investigation will be very different from the truth."

"It can be said that one wrong move is enough for a true lawless man to get away with justice. This is absolutely not allowed."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "However, we finally found the key to the problem."

"At least we found out that Zhang Quan and Xu Liang were the executors of the operation that night, but the mastermind behind the scenes was so cunning that they used voice-changing software to process their original voices."

"It can be seen that the other party seems to know. Even if we can investigate to this point, knowing who the other party is? It seems to be more difficult than climbing to the sky."

"This guy just wants to put up obstacles for us everywhere. After we dispersed the smoke bombs, the other party built another wall for us."

"It's so irritating." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Yuan Shasha in the back row also said angrily:

"It feels like we have been following each other's ideas, and the other party seems to have guessed it. Sooner or later, our police will track down this step."

"So, I have an ominous feeling."

"What is it?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly.

"That is, the other party seems to be designing for us. Even if we find the right direction of investigation, the other party can still use certain obstacles to stop our investigation progress at the present moment."

"Eh?" As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Lu Weiwei seemed to be thinking of something?He quickly said:

"What do you think is the possibility of taking the altered audio, re-tuning it, and then restoring it?"

"It's very small." Although Lu Weiwei's question was feasible, Gu Chen still rejected it:
"Although this possibility is possible, the current sound modification technology is not mature yet."

"Even after the sound correction is completed, it is almost impossible to 100% restore the other party's voice."

"Because even if the other party is using voice-changing software, in fact, the other party can also use his own trick of deliberately changing his voice while speaking."

"In this case, even if you find the original sound, it has still been artificially tampered with by this guy. What should you do?"

"Uh, this..." Feeling that Gu Chen had asked the key point, Lu Weiwei was speechless for a moment. She could only shake her head silently and sighed:
"This is really difficult to deal with. If the other party is really so perverted, then he will indeed, as Junior Brother Gu said, process his voice again and again, so that even his mother can't recognize who he is? "

With a heavy sigh, Lu Weiwei was a little depressed, she also lay on the seat and said helplessly:
"Does it mean that we really have no way to deal with the mastermind?"

"There will definitely be one." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen also encouraged:

"At least we now know that Zhang Quan and Xu Liang were the ones who stole the body, and Hu Zhe was indeed killed."

"But now, Xu Liang has no idea where Hu Zhe's body is buried."

"Because after the two men took away Hu Zhe's body, Zhang Quan was responsible for disposing of the body, while Xu Liang was sent away."

"Well, it's really troublesome." Feeling that the current situation was indeed what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang patted his head and complained:

"However, in this way, Shangguan Wu's suspicion has indeed been eliminated."

"Then next, we need to find the guy who called. The person may be the person closest to Shangguan Wu, or at least his confidant."

After a pause, Officer Wang also turned to look at the cars passing by on the roadside, and said thoughtfully:
"But who is Shangguan Wu's confidant?"

"You have to ask someone in their company about this," Lu Weiwei said.

Officer Wang waved his hand: "Impossible. Everyone in their company must be towards Shangguan Wu."

"Especially if you didn't see it, what was the attitude of the female receptionist when we went to Shangguanwu's pawn shop? Have you forgotten it?"

Seeing that everyone in the car was silent, Officer Wang added: "That woman didn't take us very seriously at that time."

"It feels like she is working for Shangguan Wu, and she feels that she needs to think about her boss. This is good, but if her boss is committing a crime, she also chooses to think about their boss."

"I always think that it will be very troublesome to resist our police investigation."

Speaking of this, what did Officer Wang seem to have thought of?So he quickly looked at the crowd and said, "Oh, by the way, when you talk about this, I was thinking of someone."

"Is it the female receptionist?" Before Officer Wang could finish speaking, Gu Chen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, blurted out.

Officer Wang twirled his fingers and said involuntarily: "Yes, this is the woman I want to talk about."

"This woman is so devoted to her boss. She must have stayed in the company for a long time. What if she is her confidant?"
