I am a super cop

Chapter 2376 Silky Trading [Two in one Chapter]

Gu Chen had already seen clues from the layout choice of the warehouse. To rent a warehouse with such an "excellent location", it was not just about luck, but a good understanding of the layout of the entire wet market.

To grasp these, we need to carry out a systematic investigation of the vegetable markets in the entire surrounding area of ​​Jiangnan City.

If this person appears in many vegetable markets, then this guy must be looking for a suitable rental warehouse.

If we can find this person, we must know who the real tenant behind this warehouse is?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had made a new breakthrough in his investigation.

After expressing his gratitude to the man in blue uniform, Gu Chen waited until Yuan Shasha had finished the investigation.

Everyone got into the police car and headed directly back to Furong Branch.

……

……

It was one o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, He Junchao was sitting aside, listening to the various investigation summaries of Gu Chen's team. The box of yogurt in his hand was taken from Lu Weiwei's drawer.

It feels like I have earned something by drinking Lu Weiwei's stuff.

On the other side, Gu Chen was making plans and arrangements with his colleagues: "Xiao Yuan, share your investigation with everyone."

"Yes." Yuan Shasha nodded silently and immediately explained to everyone:
"Based on the surveillance investigation, I found that Hu Zhe actually went to the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market not many times."

"Moreover, he met a member of his metal band, Liu Jinwen, twice. Perhaps he himself did not expect that Liu Jinwen would live nearby."

"But that's not the point. The point is that Hu Zicic goes in empty-handed every time, probably around early in the morning."

"And the time to leave was probably around six or seven o'clock in the morning."

"Is it like this every time?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"It's like this every time." Yuan Shasha replied affirmatively.

Officer Wang held his chin, also thinking thoughtfully: "But, he went there empty-handed, returned empty-handed, and stayed in that warehouse all night. What do you think he would do there?"

"He must be engaged in some secret activity. At least he cannot be discovered by others, otherwise he would not choose to go there at night." Lu Weiwei said.

Officer Wang chuckled and said, "Lu Weiwei, everyone knows this. In fact, everyone can see that behind Hu Zhe, there are actually other people coordinating with him."

"In other words, the person behind this may be one person or a gang."

"But at least it can be explained that when Vujicic rented these two warehouses, he was actually doing things for others."

"Moreover, those pickles were not transported from the market gate, so we can conclude the results of our previous field investigation."

"That is, someone was transporting pickles to the warehouse through that window to mask the smell of other items."

After a pause, Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen, and then said: "What we have to do now is, in addition to continuing to investigate Hu Zhe, we should also find out the forces behind Hu Zhe."

"Especially to find out the person behind the delivery of pickles through the window."

Seeing that no one responded, Officer Wang asked Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, do you have any good ideas?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen, who was crossing his arms, also said thoughtfully:

"This is how I understand it. Several people, the masterminds behind the scenes, were able to find such an excellent warehouse."

"This shows that the other party has repeatedly confirmed it in advance. In other words, they have conducted on-site investigations in this kind of place many times before."

"After various comparisons, we concluded that this warehouse is an excellent and secret area."

Looking around, Gu Chen continued to explain: "First of all, I have to admit that what the other party did is very smart."

"They know how to use the warehouse in the vegetable market as a cover. If they want to store some illegal items, they will inevitably set up the storage warehouse in an extremely secret area, preferably a sparsely populated area."

"However, they did not do that this time. Instead, they went in the opposite direction and set up the warehouse inside the wet market where the population flow is very dense."

Lying on the seat, Gu Chen said with emotion: "Who would have thought that these people would set up a warehouse here?"

"It shows that these people are smart enough and at least know how to hide themselves correctly, but at the same time, this kind of place, in my opinion, is too perfect."

"That's right." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei quickly added:
"As Junior Brother Gu said, this place is hidden in a vegetable market with dense population flow, and it is also in the most inconspicuous corner of the market. However, this place has become the place with the least population flow in the market."

"The contrasting cover really makes this the safest place."

"Also, there is a ventilation window here, so you can avoid transporting goods through the market gate and avoid being discovered by security personnel and other vendors."

"In this way, it is a good cover. If I were this group of people, I would definitely be happy to find such a place. At least this kind of magical place is an excellent place to hide evil and evil."

"Senior Sister Lu is right." Seeing that Lu Weiwei had already analyzed the situation before, Gu Chen said again:
"Then do you know what price you have to pay for choosing such a place?"

"At what cost?"

After hearing what Gu Chen said, everyone immediately looked at each other, and no one knew why.

Yuan Shasha tried her best and said: "The price is that we need constant on-site investigation."

"That's right." Seeing that Yuan Shasha had already said what she was thinking, Gu Chen continued to explain:
"The location of this warehouse, in my opinion, is too perfect, but for such a perfect warehouse, one must constantly make choices."

"It doesn't mean that there will be such a warehouse when you arrive. What is needed? It requires on-site investigation."

"But if this person frequently visits major vegetable markets in Jiangnan City in a short period of time, looking for suitable warehouses, then we can accurately target him through investigation."

"I know." Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up and she quickly agreed:
"Junior Brother Gu means that we check the major vegetable markets to see who frequented the major vegetable markets in Jiangnan City during the period before the warehouse was leased."

"And we are looking for a warehouse to rent. In this way, we can target the person who rents the warehouse. At least they are looking for a suitable location."

"It can't be said that people took a fancy to this 'excellent location' warehouse from the beginning, right?"

"That's what it means." Feeling that Lu Weiwei was indeed the roundworm in his stomach, Gu Chen also nodded in agreement:

“I think finding a warehouse in a great location is not simple and requires constant on-the-ground research.”

"Although we still don't know who the force behind Vujicic is? But we can do the same investigation as them and find out who rents the warehouse."

"This is easy to handle." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang looked at He Junchao who was drinking yogurt.

He Junchao's expression was blank, and he had an ominous premonition.

Suddenly he said with a bitter look on his face: "We need to investigate again, right? This is a big project."

"I know." Police Officer Wang smiled slightly and said with evil intentions: "He Junchao, please work hard and rent Hu Zhe to the wet market warehouse in Yuhua Logistics Park during the period before he rented it."

"Investigate the situation in the major vegetable markets in Jiangnan City, and check from the surveillance to see who is there? During that time, he frequently entered and exited these vegetable markets."

"That person who frequents the major vegetable markets in Jiangnan City and happens to be looking for rent in the warehouse must be the person we are looking for now."

"It's also very possible that he's the guy delivering pickles through the window. He's definitely right."

"But this is a big project." He Junchao knew that what Comrade Lao Wang said was simple, but in actual investigation, for a technical detective like himself, wouldn't it be so painful that he would vomit blood?
Gu Chen also said categorically: "Senior Brother He, I asked Xiao Yuan to assist you together. There is not much time left for us now."

"Vujicic's body has not been found for a long time. If we don't find the mastermind hiding behind Hu Zicic, we may never know where Vujicic's body is hidden?"

"At least we now know that Vujicic's renting of the warehouse was definitely not his original intention."

"And behind him, there are always people assisting him. This can be seen by the pickles coming in and out of the warehouse."

"Moreover, now that Hu Zicic has been killed for no reason, it further proves that the boss behind the scenes has become a bit anxious. He cannot allow his secrets to be exposed."

"For this reason, he did not hesitate to let people kill Hu Zicic and kill the killer."

"It can be seen that killing people and silencing them is already his top priority."

"If we are still stalling for time now, what we may end up with to investigate is a trap carefully designed by the other party."

"Yes." Seeing that He Junchao was still squirming, Lu Weiwei said angrily:
"What time is it now? Especially in those two warehouses, there is nothing. It shows that people have long been wary of the warehouses because of Hu Zhe's death, so they quickly moved the previous goods."

"But if this batch of goods is illegal, once it is circulated on the market, it will be a devastating disaster. Do you understand? He Junchao."

"Okay." Feeling that he couldn't speak to these people at all, He Junchao held out two fingers.

Lu Weiwei looked puzzled and asked quickly: "Are you trying to compete with me?"

"Please!" It felt like Lu Weiwei didn't get what she meant at all, so He Junchao quickly said again:
"Give me two more chicken legs and I'll get started."

"Chicken legs?" Upon hearing this, Lu Weiwei frowned and said perfunctorily:

"Then what? You start first, it's late at night, where can I buy you chicken legs?"

"No need to bother." He Junchao had long expected that Lu Weiwei would have this trick, and pointed at Lu Weiwei's drawer and said:

"Yesterday morning, I saw you coming over with a bag of snacks. When you were stuffing things into the drawer, I saw three bags of individually wrapped chicken legs. You gave me two."

"He Junchao..."

It felt like she was also angry at He Jun's behavior as a chicken thief, and Lu Weiwei just wanted to run away.

The knuckles of his fingers were already creaking.

But seeing the proud look on He Junchao's face, it was clear that he was convinced that everyone wanted to ask for him.

Lu Weiwei didn't want to ruin the progress of Gu Chen's investigation, so she compromised with a smile: "Okay, just two sticks, and I'll give you a bottle of yogurt."

"Uh……"

I originally thought that Lu Weiwei was going to scold her for being shameless, but what she got in exchange was Lu Weiwei's soft words.

He Junchao was not used to it and said: "Lu Weiwei, are you serious?"

"Really, you've worked so hard, what's wrong with giving you two chicken legs? Just treat it as a nutritional supplement, right? I'll also give you a bottle of yogurt."

"No...it's not expired, right?" He Junchao felt that Lu Weiwei's change of attitude was suddenly more terrifying than scolding him.

Thinking about the scene where he secretly drank Lu Weiwei's expired yogurt and ruined his stomach, He Junchao always had a shadow in his heart.

As a result, Lu Weiwei directly opened the drawer, placed two packages of chicken legs and a bottle of yogurt directly on He Junchao's table, and vowed:
"You have eyes, but you can't read the date?"

"Well, since you are so sincere..."

Feeling that he had wrongly blamed Lu Weiwei, He Junchao immediately retracted his arrogance and said with a smile: "Then I will...start the investigation now."

"You have some conscience." Seeing that He Junchao was about to start, Lu Weiwei glanced directly at Yuan Shasha beside her and reminded:
"Xiao Yuan, you go and be He Junchao's deputy. When he is tired, you take over."

"Understood." Yuan Shasha didn't mind, walked directly to He Junchao, and put down her seat at the same time.

Lu Weiwei turned around and reminded Gu Chen: "Junior brother Gu, how about we take a rest now? Tomorrow, based on the investigation results of He Junchao and Xiao Yuan, we will go to the field to look for this suspicious person?"

"Okay." Seeing that everything had been arranged, Gu Chen knew very well that it was already late at night.

Everyone needed to maintain enough physical strength, so they asked He Junchao to investigate while letting Yuan Shasha rest here.

When He Junchao was tired of investigating, Yuan Shasha went to take over for He Junchao.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, took Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang directly back to the dormitory to rest.

……

……

The next morning, at 6:20 am.

Gu Chen returned directly to the criminal investigation team office with the breakfast he bought from the cafeteria.

At this moment, He Junchao was already lying on the folding bed and fast asleep, while Yuan Shasha, who was sitting on He Junchao's seat and continued to investigate and monitor, was still continuing her work.

"Xiao Yuan, have breakfast first." Gu Chen placed one of the breakfasts in front of Yuan Shasha.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu." Yuan Shasha just glanced at him casually and continued the work at hand.

After Gu Chen put away the other breakfasts, he also came behind Yuan Shasha and asked quickly: "Have you found anything?"

"No." Yuan Shasha yawned and said helplessly:

"Senior Brother He and I checked all night last night, but we didn't find the suspicious person you mentioned."

"In other words, there was no such suspicious person who frequently visited the major vegetable markets in Jiangnan City to inquire about warehouse leasing during the period before Hu Zhe rented the warehouse, right?"

Gu Chen handed the shelled eggs directly to Yuan Shasha.

"Thank you." Yuan Shasha thanked her, stuffed the cooked egg into her mouth, chewed it for a few mouthfuls, and then nodded silently:

"Yes, we checked almost all the entrances to the vegetable markets in Jiangnan City and found no such person." "Is there something wrong?" After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gu Chen also Starting to fall into self-doubt.

According to my previous speculation, a warehouse like the vegetable market in Yuhua Logistics Park is hard to come by.

To find such a place would obviously require a lot of on-the-ground research.

But now, after He Junchao and Yuan Shasha monitored and investigated all night, they did not find the existence of such a person.

This caused a serious setback to Gu Chen's previous speculation.

"Senior Brother Gu." After taking a sip of hot milk, Yuan Shasha also reminded: "If Hu Zhe can rent that warehouse, it must be because someone has done a good job of research and understands this market very well."

"Is there such a possibility? That is, the man behind the scenes is probably someone from the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market?"

“Because I am a person in the market, I know the environment here very well.”

"So, this person didn't need to check a lot of other vegetable market warehouses before finally choosing this place."

"Rather, did you know there was such a 'perfectly located' place from the beginning?"

Yuan Shasha's analysis also allowed Gu Chen's divergent thinking to return to the root of the problem.

Gu Chen also nodded silently and agreed, "Yes, I have thought about this possibility before."

"But if the possibility of the other party looking for warehouses everywhere is not ruled out, then this possibility does not exist."

Gu Chen sighed quietly, trying to calm down, and then said again:

"But now it seems that this possibility is still quite high."

"The man behind the scenes may really be someone from the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market, so he knows this area so well that there is no need to conduct a lot of on-site investigations."

"Yes, I think so too." Yuan Shasha said.

Gu Chen stood up, walked back and forth twice, and then thought about it and said:

"If this is the case, then the investigation may be simpler. As long as we find out who has inquired about the warehouse leasing before Hu Zhe rented these two warehouses, we may be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Well, I think so too." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Yuan Shasha also nodded silently, and then said:
"It seems that we still need to go to the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market today to figure out these specific questions. We can also ask the people in the market."

Looking up out of the window, Yuan Shasha also thought about it and said: "I always feel that the real mastermind behind this is actually not far away from us."

"He just used some kind of disguise to disguise himself as a normal ordinary person."

"Maybe." Gu Chen also had this intention.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang also walked in from outside. After seeing the breakfast on the table, Lu Weiwei also said with a look of surprise:

"Junior brother Gu, are you quite fast? Not long after the text message was sent to us, you had already bought breakfast."

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Gu Chen also smiled slightly and continued:

"Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, hurry up and finish your breakfast. We will go to the Yuhua Logistics Park vegetable market later."

"What's wrong?" Officer Wang took his own breakfast and asked Gu Chen out of curiosity before he had a chance to take a bite:

"Gu Chen, did you find anything in your investigation?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and said truthfully: "Xiao Yuan and Senior Brother He investigated all night last night, but they didn't find the suspicious person I guessed."

"This shows that the mastermind behind the scenes did not go to the major vegetable markets in Jiangnan City to investigate suitable warehouses. Instead, he already knew that the most suitable warehouse was within the vegetable market in Yuhua Logistics Park."

"In this way, the possibility that the man behind the scenes is an insider of the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market will greatly increase."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued to express his guess:
"I want to go to the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market and find out who has inquired about the warehouse leasing during the period before Hu Zhe rented the warehouse."

"Maybe, we can try our luck."

"Well, that makes sense." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang quickly took a bite of his bun, and then said:

"Then let's set off quickly and take advantage of the busiest time of the Yuhua Logistics Park vegetable market to inquire with more people about the specific situation."

"Well, let's go now." Gu Chen couldn't wait any longer and turned to look at Yuan Shasha and said:
"Xiao Yuan, you have a good rest during the day today. You don't have to go to work. You will go back to the dormitory directly after breakfast."

"Understood." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Yuan Shasha readily agreed.

On the other side, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang had already taken off some of their portable equipment and were also wearing casual clothes. They drove directly towards the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market in a civilian car.

……

……

When Gu Chen parked his vehicle firmly at the parking space at the entrance of the Yuhua Logistics Park wet market, the place was already crowded.

The whole market was bustling inside and outside, with many adults and adults walking through it carrying shopping bags in their hands.

Since early morning is the peak time for grocery shopping, this is when the entire market is busiest.

It's almost impossible to get across the sidewalks here quickly.

It's basically a crowded place.

But Gu Chen also had his own goal, which was to go directly to the second floor of the market, go to the monitoring room, and find the security personnel he met yesterday.

At this moment, the door to the control room on the second floor was ajar.

When Gu Chen pushed open the door, the three security guards from last night's Landlord game were sleeping on their respective seats.

Gu Chen didn't hesitate and directly woke up the tall and thin man: "Wake up."

After being slapped a few times by Gu Chen, the tall and thin man muttered a few times, then raised his head listlessly.

When he opened his eyes and saw that the person coming was Gu Chen, the tall and thin man suddenly became nervous again. He quickly stood up and asked curiously:
"This...isn't this Gu Bureau? Didn't you already come yesterday?"

"That's right." Seeing that the tall and thin security guard still knew him, Gu Chen said straight to the point:

"I came here early in the morning and woke you up. I'm sorry, but as you know, we are investigating a case and the time is tight and the tasks are heavy."

"It's okay, the investigation of the case is more important." The tall and thin security guard was also embarrassed to hear Gu Chen speak so politely.

He hurriedly asked Gu Chen: "By the way, Director Gu, you are looking for me. Do you have anything else to do?"

"We want to know, before Warehouse No. 5 and Warehouse No. 001 were leased out in Area E002, who came to the market to inquire about the warehouse leasing?" Before Gu Chen could speak, Officer Wang asked directly.

"This... is not very clear, because the lease time of warehouses 5 and 001 in E002 area was more than a month ago. It has been more than a month. Who still remembers this?"

"Then your other two colleagues, do they know?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"Them?" The tall and thin man, who was not very convinced, immediately walked up to two colleagues and shook them awake:
"Wake up, wake up."

"What are you doing?" A fat man who was woken up also looked at the tall and thin man with a look of complaint.

But when the tall and thin man's eyes pointed out that Gu Chen and others were standing in front of him, the fat man quickly woke up another man of medium height next to him: "Wake up, wake up quickly."

After a while of fussing, Gu Chen gave a few people some time to wake up.

The three of them sat in a row and looked at the three policemen in front of them with confused expressions.

"So, you don't know that anyone is asking about warehouse leasing?"

"That's right." The fat man nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "This warehouse is actually not private. It belongs to our Yuhua Logistics Park vegetable market."

"So if you want to rent a warehouse, you must inquire about our market. However, we have never met anyone asking about warehouse leasing before."

"Yes." As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the middle-sized man quickly agreed:

"We, the people, wander around the market every day. If someone wants to rent a warehouse here, we will know it as soon as possible, but we don't know."

"Could it be that this merchant named Hu Zhe directly rented the warehouse here?" Lu Weiwei still felt a little incredible.

But the tall and thin man replied firmly: "I don't know the details, but those in the management center must know."

"Because the people who manage the leasing are the people in their management center."

After thinking about it, the tall and thin man quickly added: "Oh, by the way, he is the man who brought you here to pick the lock yesterday, the man in blue clothes."

"They are in charge of these things. You can go to them and ask them."

"Okay." Seeing that several people really didn't know the specific situation, Gu Chen nodded in agreement.

I thought about asking these three people first, but if that didn't work, I would ask about the one in blue uniform yesterday.

Now I feel like I can go directly to the management center.

After bidding farewell to the three security personnel, Gu Chen drove and soon arrived at the entrance of the management center.

Perhaps because early morning is the busiest time in the vegetable market, the door of the management center is open at this moment.

Gu Chen and others got out of the car and came to the second floor.

The person on duty here last night has now been replaced by another man wearing a blue uniform.

Seeing Gu Chen and others walking into the office, this fat man in blue uniform also asked out of curiosity:
"Who are you looking for?"

"Where was the person on duty last night?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"He? He's off work. What's wrong?"

The fat man in blue uniform also looked confused.

Officer Wang directly took out his police card and introduced: "We are from Furong Branch. We came here to investigate last night. The tall and thin man who received us was the man who received us."

"Oh, yes. When I handed over my shift this morning, I heard my colleague say that, yes, the police came to investigate the case."

After learning the purpose of everyone's visit, the fat man nodded silently, and then said:

"However, didn't you already investigate yesterday? Is there anything else you don't know about?"

"We want to know who came here to inquire about the leasing of warehouses No. 5 and No. 001 in the E002 area of ​​the market before they were rented out?" Lu Weiwei also took a step forward and asked with her hands on the desk.

The fat man shook his head: "It seems not, right?"

"No? It's impossible, right? Think about it again." Officer Wang felt that there must be.

But the fat man still shook his head: "Definitely not. I remember that the people who came to our management center and said they wanted to rent those two places as warehouses were the tenants of that warehouse."

"Is Hu Zhe right?" Gu Chen confirmed.

The fat man tried hard to think about it for a few seconds, but he was not sure, so he quickly opened the computer and quickly found Hu Zhe's name based on the data table.

So he nodded to Gu Chen and others and said, "Yes, that's Hu Zhe."

"I still remember that I was in the office at that time, because the location of the two warehouses was relatively remote, and it was not cost-effective to use as a store in a vegetable market, but as a warehouse, the rent was relatively high."

"So, this E5 area, warehouse 001 and warehouse 002, have always been in a very awkward position and it is difficult to rent them out."

"But that day, the merchant named Hu Zhe came directly to our office and said that he would rent these two places as warehouses."

After taking a deep breath and pausing for a few seconds, the fat man continued to think and said:
"I remember that he seemed to be very optimistic about that place at the time. I was also afraid that he would regret it. I also reminded him that that place could only be used as a warehouse. No one would patronize the store when it was used as a market."

"I also advised him to think clearly, but at that time his answer was very positive, saying that he just wanted to use it as a warehouse, and rented two stalls facing each other together."

"I thought at the time, no one has inquired about these two awkwardly located warehouses for a long time. If he wants to rent them, then rent them to him."

"I even remember that I personally took the key to show him the stall."

"Then what was Hu Zhe's reaction at that time?" After hearing what the fat man said, Gu Chen quickly asked.

The fat man scratched his cheek and said in retrospect: "What was his reaction at that time? It seemed like he was quite easy to talk to."

"I just looked around casually in the warehouse and asked me when can I sign the contract?"

"I thought, are you in such a hurry to send money? Then I will definitely be happy, and I can also get some commission from renting the stall. So, I completed the contract that morning, and he signed the contract that same morning, too. Rent was paid.”

After a pause, the fat man thought back with unfinished thoughts, "It feels like everything is so silky smooth."
