I am a super cop
Chapter 2437 Mysterious Employer [2 in 1 Chapter]
In the room, Yang Jie's words still aroused Gu Chen's suspicion. A man from the capital city was doing sales work, but suddenly one day, someone forced a package into his hand. This was obviously very suspicious.
The key is that the person who stuffed the package was very familiar with Yang Jie, so Yang Jie seemed to have his own story.
"Then how did you deal with the package after you received it?" Gu Chen wanted to know the whole story, so he quickly asked.
Yang Jie paused, then thought back and said, "At first, I didn't know what this person wanted to do with me. But he left after throwing me the package, and delivered it to me personally."
With a heavy sigh, Yang Jie continued: "That period was the most unlucky time for me. Because of stock speculation, I lost all my savings and was burdened with many loans."
"During that time, life was very difficult. I felt like a walking zombie, walking around the streets without a soul every day."
After sniffing, Yang Jie continued to explain: "Because of my downfall, my friends started to stay away from me. Mainly because they were afraid that I would borrow money from them."
"In this circle, everyone knows that I carried a lot of money during that time and they all wanted to stay away from me. In fact, there were very few people who were close to me."
"But that guy just stuffed a bag of stuff into me. To be honest, I was a little confused, but I felt that this stuff might be useful to me, and I didn't have time to think about the identity of that person."
"So, after returning to my residence, I quickly opened the package and found a bag of money inside, as well as some information and photos."
"Money? Information and photos?" Listening to Yang Jie's story, Lu Weiwei instinctively became alert.
I feel like anything involving money is probably not that simple.
In Lu Weiwei's view, this may be paying someone to do things, and this person doing things is obviously Yang Jie.
So Lu Weiwei quickly asked Yang Jie: "Yang Jie, let me ask you, how much money is there?"
"Twenty...twenty thousand." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Yang Jie stretched out two fingers.
"Are you sure, there are only [-]?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Yes, it's just [-], two dozen bills, you can't go wrong. After I went back, I counted them carefully. Not one penny too much, not one penny too little."
"What are the information and photos?" Officer Wang also asked impatiently.
Yang Jie took a deep breath, looked at his window, and then quickly explained:
"The information says that if you do something for this person, the 2 yuan will be regarded as payment."
"Doing what for whom?" Yuan Shasha suddenly felt that the situation seemed not that simple.
Yang Jie sighed softly and said helplessly: "Actually, it's nothing? You just want me to come to Jiangnan City and rent this room according to the address given in the document."
"Observe the situation of the button shop opposite every day, which is the shop you come out from."
"Sure enough, it's you." After listening to Yang Jie's story, Gu Chen also said slowly:
"So you were the one hiding behind the curtain observing us?"
"Yes, it's me." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Yang Jie did not intend to refute, and admitted bluntly:
"I noticed that you police officers had entered this room, and I was a little curious, so I stayed by the window and observed more."
"I just didn't expect that I was hiding at such a long distance and covered by curtains. How did you see me?"
"It's very simple." Of course Gu Chen would not tell Yang Jie that he had master-level observation skills and it was not difficult to see what was going on in the building opposite?
But Gu Chen couldn't say that, he could only give a condition that everyone could accept:
"I saw that in the building opposite, many rooms were lit, but in your room with the lights on, there was a dark figure leaning against the window, as if observing something in the dark?"
"Because you were hiding behind the curtain, and there was light behind you, the light illuminated your figure on the curtain, so of course I could see someone hiding by the window and observing secretly."
"So that's it? It seems I was careless." Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Yang Jie instantly felt a little unlucky.
Logically speaking, such a long distance should be very safe.
But I didn't expect that Gu Chen, who was in the building opposite, would discover him like this.
Seeing that Gu Chen and Yang Jie explained the specific situation, Lu Weiwei also quickly asked: "Are you hiding here and observing the situation of the store opposite every day? Including who comes in and out?"
"Yes, that's what the information requires." Yang Jie lowered his head and sighed helplessly.
"What about the information?" Officer Wang asked.
Yang Jie quickly explained: "The information says that after reading the information, burn it and don't leave any traces, otherwise I will get into trouble."
"But at that time, I really couldn't survive in Shanghai and needed money urgently. Someone gave me money to do things."
"As long as it's not too much, I think it's acceptable."
After a pause, Yang Jie continued: "But, I don't know why this person wants me to do this?"
"But I didn't think too much about it at the time. I needed the money so much."
"No matter what his information said, I could only follow the requirements. After reading it, I destroyed the information."
"Are you pretty good at eliminating evidence?" Yuan Shasha also laughed as she listened to Yang Jie's story.
But Yang Jie smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I don't know if I will get into trouble if I do this?"
"But this information only asks me to monitor the situation of the store opposite here. I don't think it's a big deal. I feel like it's a private detective who needs to hire people to do things for their organization."
"Then how do you usually contact each other?" Gu Chen asked.
"Oh, I can't contact the other party directly. Usually the other party will choose to call me at a certain time period, and the number every time they call me is a virtual number."
"So, you contacted me passively?" Officer Wang said.
"Yes." Yang Jie did not deny it, but also talked eloquently:
"At first, I was renting here, and I was a little uncomfortable with it. The other party asked me to fake a professional identity, that is, a liquor salesman."
"It's a career in external publicity. This makes it easier for me to move on my own."
With a faint sigh, Yang Jie shook his head and said, "But actually, what do I know about liquor?"
"Sometimes, other residents living in this building will chat with me about my career and ask me some professional questions."
"I think when you do things for others, you can't mess things up, right? Otherwise, 2 yuan would be too much money, right?"
"So, I went to the Internet to learn about liquor."
Rubbing his face with his hands and trying to calm down, Yang Jie continued to explain: "In this way, I used some of the liquor knowledge I learned online to convince these residents that I am a liquor salesman."
"So, I usually stay here, observing the situation on the other side, and occasionally go out to the supermarket to buy some things."
After a pause, Yang Jie looked at Gu Chen and the others, and said quickly:
"Just now, when you met me, I was going to the supermarket outside to buy something."
After the words fell, Yang Jie felt panicked when he saw Gu Chen and others were silent.
But soon, Gu Chen asked another question: "Has the other party contacted you?"
"Yes." Yang Jie nodded.
"How many times?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Three...three times." Yang Jie stretched out three fingers.
"Then what did the other party ask every time?" Gu Chen continued to ask.
Yang Jie thought for a while and said slowly: "This is the first time that I called to ask about the specific situation. I said that everything was being done according to the other party's requirements."
"After all, I have never met the other party, and I just received a sum of money in such a confused way. I know that pie in the sky will not fall."
"The reason why I got the 2 yuan was certainly not for nothing. I asked him on the phone if he knew about my situation."
"What did the other party say?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Harmful!" Yang Jie sighed and quickly explained:
"The other party seemed to know that I carried it very hard during that period. I felt that I might have been targeted by someone, and that person should be someone who was very familiar with me."
"Even if it's not someone I'm familiar with, it must be someone my friends are familiar with, and it must be related to the people around me."
With a sigh, Yang Jie continued to explain: "I told him at the time that I didn't care who the other party was, I would take the 2 yuan job."
"The other party also told me that he knew my current situation and what I bought at the supermarket that day."
"This made me feel a little numb. I felt like that guy might be hiding in a dark place near me and has been watching me."
"Is it really so evil?" Listening to what Yang Jie said, Lu Weiwei felt a little unbelievable.
If you follow what Yang Jie said, what did you buy in the supermarket?The other party can clearly see it, so it is obvious that Yang Jie is under the other party's surveillance.
But the other party could obviously monitor it by himself, so why did he arrange for Yang Jie?
Moreover, Yang Jie handed over 2 yuan and this task to that celebrity without even meeting him. Aren't you afraid that Yang Jie would take the money and not do the work?
But thinking back, since the other person could understand Yang Jie's recent embarrassment, maybe he was a friend of Yang Jie's, or a friend of his friend.
Seeing that Lu Weiwei still didn't believe it, Yang Jie quickly clarified to himself: "I really don't know who that guy is? But what he said is absolutely right."
"The first time he took the initiative to contact me, he just wanted to tell me that I'd better stop playing tricks. He can control every move I make. I feel like he just wanted to give me some warning."
"Do you have any other questions?" Officer Wang said.
Yang Jie shook his head: "You didn't say much about other things? You just asked me, have you gone to observe the situation in the store opposite?"
"Then what do you say?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Yang Jie took a deep breath and said slowly: "What else can I say? I just took out my notebook and told him bit by bit, what time and what happened on the other side?"
Having said this, Yang Jie quickly walked to his bedside table and opened the cabinet.
Then, he took out a paper notebook, handed it to Gu Chen and said:
"The things I recorded are all here. You can take them and take a look."
Gu Chen took Yang Jie's paper notebook and quickly read through it.
It can be said that Yang Jie is quite serious about his work. Almost every moment of Yang Jie's observations are recorded here.
Including the time and minute, the specific situation on the other side, some people who entered the store, and my specific analysis of the situation on the other side.
It can be said that Yang Jie will record everything that can be recorded in detail. If there is no requirement to record anything, Yang Jie will also add a little personal analysis.
Gu Chen handed the notebook to Lu Weiwei aside, while he continued to interrogate Yang Jie:
"Yang Jie, after he told that person this, what was that person's reaction?"
"Very satisfied." Yang Jie said.
"Then what?" Gu Chen continued to ask.
"Then? Then he said that he would call again next time, and then hung up." Yang Jie continued to explain.
"So, this is the specific situation when the other party communicated with you for the first time?" Officer Wang was a little dumbfounded.
But Yang Jie replied firmly: "Yes, it's very simple, right? I also feel like an old guard, who even records the specific conditions of the store opposite every day."
"I feel like it's okay if I'm full, but 2 yuan is quite delicious. For money, I feel like I'm full and it's okay."
"You're quite open-minded." Seeing that Yang Jie was optimistic, Officer Wang said casually.
Yang Jie paused and shook his head helplessly: "There is no other way. Life is forcing us to do this."
After hearing what Yang Jie said, Gu Chen walked back and forth in front of him and said thoughtfully:
"I really want to know now, what did you say the second and third time?"
"The second time? I remember that the second time he called me, he also asked about some specific situations on the other side."
"It feels like the other party is very concerned about the owner of that shop, that old man. You must have met him before."
"That's right." Seeing Yang Jie talking about this, Gu Chen echoed without hesitation:
"We have indeed met that boss, but you said that the other party actually asked you to observe that boss?"
"Yes, observe the boss's daily life." Yang Jie said.
At this time, Officer Wang really felt that the other party seemed to be a little full, but he still wanted to know what was going to happen next, so he asked Yang Jie again:
"Yang Jie, let me ask you, does this person care so much about the shop opposite, especially the owner of the shop opposite, that he wants you to go get something from the opposite side?"
"Eh? How do you know?" Yang Jie was stunned for a moment when Officer Wang said this.
Officer Wang chuckled and said helplessly: "Did you secretly enter that store? Also secretly turned on a hidden light switch near the stairway? You also went up to the second floor to get a wooden box. thing?"
"Uh……"
Faced with Officer Wang's sharp questions, Yang Jie seemed a little overwhelmed.
Officer Wang continued to ask angrily: "Yes or no?"
"Yes... yes." Faced with Officer Wang's high-pressure attitude, Yang Jie shrank his neck, but still replied timidly:
"Yes, the other party asked me to closely observe the boss's movements, and based on my various observations over the past few days, I have indeed found out the boss's specific routine."
"Furthermore, I found that the boss's store did not have surveillance cameras installed, and there were no surveillance cameras nearby." "The most incredible thing to me was that this boss did not lock the door of the store during the day. He only opened the door after returning home at night. Lock it up."
After saying this, Yang Jie also sighed and said helplessly:
"So, when the mysterious employer called me for the second time and asked me to sneak into the house opposite as per his request, I was also very panicked."
"After all, as I said before, I just observed the situation of the store opposite, and I feel that the money is too good to make."
"But when the other party asked me to sneak in and take something away, I was a little panicked. I felt like they were asking me to steal? The mental burden was very heavy at the time."
"Then how did you choose?" Lu Weiwei said.
"How did I choose?" Yang Jie put his forehead with one hand and sighed:
"I don't know what I was thinking at the time? 2 yuan bought my dignity and made me weak."
"Before I started trading in stocks, I clearly had a lot of backbone, but later I discovered that backbone is worthless in the face of poverty."
With a sigh, Yang Jie also held his head and said, "I was struggling for a long time. I don't know if this is right or not?"
"But I know that the request made by the other party is quite simple to operate."
"Because, as long as the old man leaves the shop, then I just need to pretend to be a passing tourist, and nothing will happen."
"I could say when I was discovered, I just came in and looked at the buttons here."
"If the other party says that this place is private property and not open to the public, then I'll just leave. Just say that they mistakenly thought it was a store."
"Is it that simple?" Officer Wang asked.
"It's that simple." Yang Jie also echoed and continued:
"So, I followed the other party's request. I found that the previous ones were just foreshadowing."
"The other party asked me to keep observing the daily activities in the shop opposite. It felt like I was preparing to sneak in later."
"I found that according to the schedule I observed, I easily entered the interior of the store and quickly found the hidden light switch under the corridor."
"Wait a minute." After hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted and asked:
"You said that you found a hidden switch under the corridor entrance as required. Tell me, where is the switch?"
"Uh..." Facing Gu Chen's sharp eyes, Yang Jie was stunned and stammered:
"Just... right at the top of the stairs."
"The specific location." Gu Chen continued to ask in a stern tone.
Yang Jie couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, but he quickly explained:
"Just... just below the stairs, aren't there some decorative buckles hanging on the wall? You need to reverse the keychain's position to find the switch."
Hearing this, Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other, as if they all felt what the problem was.
You know, only the old man in the shop and his son who died in love knew where the secret light switch was?
But why would the person who hired Yang Jie know?
Also, what is the function of turning on this secret switch?We don't know yet, but the location is definitely right.
This really needs to be verified. What the white-haired old man in the shop said before was that when he entered the house and found that the light that had not been on for a long time came on, it felt like his son was back.
But the old man's son had already died in love, so how could he come back?
So later, the old man began to hang some soul-calling bells at the door, creating a mess.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Gu Chen quickly looked at Yang Jie and continued to ask:
"Yang Jie, the other party asked you to turn on the secret switch under the stairs. What is the purpose?"
"I don't know." Yang Jie shook his head and continued:
"All I know is, he was on the phone, asking me to turn on the light switch there, and then asking me what the situation was?"
"Wait a minute." After hearing this, Gu Chen heard another clue of the problem and said quickly:
"You mean, when you turned on that switch, the other party asked you for details?"
"Yes." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Yang Jie also nodded fiercely:
"So, that phone call was actually about listening to your report after you entered the room?"
"Uh..." Yang Jie felt a little nervous in his heart, but Yang Jie still explained honestly:
"No...that's right. The other party called me for the second time. After listening to my analysis of the specific situation report in the past few days, he asked me to choose a gap when the old man left and sneak into that store quickly."
"Then, what do I do? Completely obey the orders of an employer I have never met and do whatever he says?"
"He asked to find the hidden stair light switch, so I found it for him and turned it on."
"Later he asked me what was going on with the light? I said it kept flashing."
"Then what did he say next?" After hearing this, Lu Weiwei couldn't wait to know the result.
And Yang Jie also took a deep breath, trying to calm down his nervous emotions, and then said slowly:
"I told him that the light would flicker from time to time. Then, he didn't speak for a long time until I asked him on the phone, what should I do next?"
"He just told me to go directly to the second floor to find an exquisite wooden box."
"Then he asked me to find it and take a look at what was inside. I said it was a button with an eagle pattern. The man asked me to put on the button and come out quickly."
Having said this, Yang Jie also looked at Gu Chen and complained:
"Comrade police, that's what happened. I took away the button with the eagle pattern and quietly ran out without being noticed by anyone else."
After hearing what Yang Jie said, Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other, so Gu Chen asked Yang Jie again:
"Then where did you find the wooden box on the second floor?"
"It's very simple." Yang Jie looked relaxed and quickly replied:
"When I first started, I felt that it was quite difficult to find. I felt like I had to go to the second floor of other people's stores to look for things, but there were also a lot of buttons on the second floor. They were everywhere."
"If I were to look for it, it would probably take a long time. Besides, if the old man goes out, he will definitely come back."
"And based on my observations for many days, when the old man went out, he must have gone to buy groceries."
"It won't take too long. If I can't find it, I'll be really unlucky. I won't be able to leave when the old man comes back."
"But if the old man locks the door, then I really can't go out."
"Then how did you get out?" Lu Weiwei was also curious.
Yang Jie sighed and said with a wry smile: "Harm! What else can I do? I can only bite the bullet and look for it, trying to find out as much as possible within a safe time."
"Be more specific?" Gu Chen adjusted the law enforcement recorder and continued to urge.
"Okay." Glancing in Gu Chen's direction, Yang Jie continued to explain:
"I kept telling myself in my heart that it's important to rush for time, it's important to rush for time, but when I went up the narrow stairs to the second floor."
"But I found that the so-called exquisite wooden box was placed on a vessel in the center of the second floor."
With a heavy sigh, Yang Jie also felt relieved and said:
"So, I told the other party on the phone that I had found it, and I felt that my life was still good."
"So that's it, I took my things and left quickly."
"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly thought of something?He also quickly asked:
"I want to know, when you went up to the second floor, did you only take away the eagle-patterned button from the wooden box and nothing else happened?"
"What else?" Gu Chen asked, a little confused, and Yang Jie also scratched the back of his head.
"For example, have you met the civet cat on the second floor?" Lu Weiwei knew what Gu Chen wanted to ask?So he spoke out for Gu Chen.
As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Yang Jie suddenly realized and said quickly:
"Yes, I found a civet cat. It scared me at the time."
"Be more specific." Officer Wang frowned and said in a serious tone.
Yang Jie took back his previous relaxation and quickly returned to the interrogation stage, and also honestly explained:
"At that time, I saw a civet cat appear and block my way, which is the way to the stairs."
"I felt guilty at the time and was afraid that if I stayed here too long, the owner would discover me, so I wanted to leave in a hurry."
"But this civet cat keeps blocking the road. Moreover, the stairs are very narrow and there is no way around it."
"I was so anxious that I kicked the civet cat away."
"At that time, I kicked the civet cat from upstairs and fell all the way to the first floor."
Hearing this, Gu Chen and everyone looked at each other in shock. Gu Chen finally figured out why Officer Wang was crazily attacked by the civet cat when he went up to the second floor.
Perhaps it was because of Yang Jie's behavior that it awakened the memory of the civet cat being bullied by the old man's son.
Gu Chen remembered that the white-haired old man in the shop said that because his son had kicked and injured the civet cat, the civet cat had become very irritable since then.
Often when he meets the son of a white-haired old man, he will start to go on a rampage.
From a docile little kitten to a fighting tanuki.
Officer Wang slapped his forehead and said angrily: "Did I block all the attacks of this cat for you?"
Seeing Yang Jie looking at him with a confused expression, Officer Wang quickly explained:
"Just because of you, you kicked and injured that civet cat. You have to know that it was a female cat that had just given birth to several kittens."
"Your attack caused the civet cat to start to hate strangers again and attack people whenever it sees them."
After the words fell, Officer Wang directly showed the back of his right hand and explained:
"Did you see that? Thanks to you, I was scratched by that raccoon cat."
"But... but what does this have to do with me?" It seemed that he didn't know the grudge between the civet cat and the white-haired old man's son, so Yang Jie didn't get to Officer Wang's point.
But Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask you, Yang Jie, where did you take the things after you got them?"
"Put it in a designated place, in a nearby trash can, and let me wrap it in a red bag," Yang Jie said.
"Why?" Lu Weiwei questioned.
"I don't know either." Yang Jie shook his head and explained helplessly:
"I said, what's the point of leaving it here? He told me on the phone not to worry about it, just leave it, and then go back quickly and not go out again that day."
After a pause, Yang Jie sighed and said slowly: "Later, I also did what the other party wanted."
"Especially the next day, out of curiosity, I went to the place where the red bags were placed the night before to see what was going on."
"What's the result?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Haha." Yang Jie snorted twice, and said with a wry smile:
"The result? The result is that the red bag disappeared. I don't know if the person on the phone took it away? Or did the person on the phone hire someone else to take it away? I don't know."
"But one thing I am convinced of is that the mysterious employer on the phone has an informant around me, and he seems to be able to accurately grasp every move I make."
"The other party can even go in and operate it by himself. It seems that he hired me because he was not sure. Moreover, he may not be in Jiangnan City."
"And the reason why he knows my specific situation must be because there are other people around, maybe also employed by him."
Listening to Yang Jie's analysis, Gu Chen also became alert.
Yes, Yang Jie's every move seemed to be transparent to the other party, which was very abnormal.
Since there were no cameras installed here, Gu Chen concluded that the mastermind behind the phone call might be hiding nearby.
Or, as Yang Jie analyzed, there were other people around who were also employed by the mysterious employer on the phone.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly asked Yang Jie:
"What about the third phone call? What did the other party ask you to do?"
"Haha." After hearing Gu Chen's question, Yang Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly and said angrily:
"This third call is to ask me to put back the things I stole before."
"Put it back? You mean, put the button of the eagle totem you stole from the wooden box on the second floor opposite and put it back?" Lu Weiwei felt incredible.
But Yang Jie nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "It's ridiculous, right? I think it's ridiculous too."
"I don't even know what the other party wants to do? But after all, I have to agree to the other party's request. I can only bite the bullet and continue to carry out this damn mission."
... (end of this chapter)
The key is that the person who stuffed the package was very familiar with Yang Jie, so Yang Jie seemed to have his own story.
"Then how did you deal with the package after you received it?" Gu Chen wanted to know the whole story, so he quickly asked.
Yang Jie paused, then thought back and said, "At first, I didn't know what this person wanted to do with me. But he left after throwing me the package, and delivered it to me personally."
With a heavy sigh, Yang Jie continued: "That period was the most unlucky time for me. Because of stock speculation, I lost all my savings and was burdened with many loans."
"During that time, life was very difficult. I felt like a walking zombie, walking around the streets without a soul every day."
After sniffing, Yang Jie continued to explain: "Because of my downfall, my friends started to stay away from me. Mainly because they were afraid that I would borrow money from them."
"In this circle, everyone knows that I carried a lot of money during that time and they all wanted to stay away from me. In fact, there were very few people who were close to me."
"But that guy just stuffed a bag of stuff into me. To be honest, I was a little confused, but I felt that this stuff might be useful to me, and I didn't have time to think about the identity of that person."
"So, after returning to my residence, I quickly opened the package and found a bag of money inside, as well as some information and photos."
"Money? Information and photos?" Listening to Yang Jie's story, Lu Weiwei instinctively became alert.
I feel like anything involving money is probably not that simple.
In Lu Weiwei's view, this may be paying someone to do things, and this person doing things is obviously Yang Jie.
So Lu Weiwei quickly asked Yang Jie: "Yang Jie, let me ask you, how much money is there?"
"Twenty...twenty thousand." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Yang Jie stretched out two fingers.
"Are you sure, there are only [-]?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Yes, it's just [-], two dozen bills, you can't go wrong. After I went back, I counted them carefully. Not one penny too much, not one penny too little."
"What are the information and photos?" Officer Wang also asked impatiently.
Yang Jie took a deep breath, looked at his window, and then quickly explained:
"The information says that if you do something for this person, the 2 yuan will be regarded as payment."
"Doing what for whom?" Yuan Shasha suddenly felt that the situation seemed not that simple.
Yang Jie sighed softly and said helplessly: "Actually, it's nothing? You just want me to come to Jiangnan City and rent this room according to the address given in the document."
"Observe the situation of the button shop opposite every day, which is the shop you come out from."
"Sure enough, it's you." After listening to Yang Jie's story, Gu Chen also said slowly:
"So you were the one hiding behind the curtain observing us?"
"Yes, it's me." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Yang Jie did not intend to refute, and admitted bluntly:
"I noticed that you police officers had entered this room, and I was a little curious, so I stayed by the window and observed more."
"I just didn't expect that I was hiding at such a long distance and covered by curtains. How did you see me?"
"It's very simple." Of course Gu Chen would not tell Yang Jie that he had master-level observation skills and it was not difficult to see what was going on in the building opposite?
But Gu Chen couldn't say that, he could only give a condition that everyone could accept:
"I saw that in the building opposite, many rooms were lit, but in your room with the lights on, there was a dark figure leaning against the window, as if observing something in the dark?"
"Because you were hiding behind the curtain, and there was light behind you, the light illuminated your figure on the curtain, so of course I could see someone hiding by the window and observing secretly."
"So that's it? It seems I was careless." Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Yang Jie instantly felt a little unlucky.
Logically speaking, such a long distance should be very safe.
But I didn't expect that Gu Chen, who was in the building opposite, would discover him like this.
Seeing that Gu Chen and Yang Jie explained the specific situation, Lu Weiwei also quickly asked: "Are you hiding here and observing the situation of the store opposite every day? Including who comes in and out?"
"Yes, that's what the information requires." Yang Jie lowered his head and sighed helplessly.
"What about the information?" Officer Wang asked.
Yang Jie quickly explained: "The information says that after reading the information, burn it and don't leave any traces, otherwise I will get into trouble."
"But at that time, I really couldn't survive in Shanghai and needed money urgently. Someone gave me money to do things."
"As long as it's not too much, I think it's acceptable."
After a pause, Yang Jie continued: "But, I don't know why this person wants me to do this?"
"But I didn't think too much about it at the time. I needed the money so much."
"No matter what his information said, I could only follow the requirements. After reading it, I destroyed the information."
"Are you pretty good at eliminating evidence?" Yuan Shasha also laughed as she listened to Yang Jie's story.
But Yang Jie smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I don't know if I will get into trouble if I do this?"
"But this information only asks me to monitor the situation of the store opposite here. I don't think it's a big deal. I feel like it's a private detective who needs to hire people to do things for their organization."
"Then how do you usually contact each other?" Gu Chen asked.
"Oh, I can't contact the other party directly. Usually the other party will choose to call me at a certain time period, and the number every time they call me is a virtual number."
"So, you contacted me passively?" Officer Wang said.
"Yes." Yang Jie did not deny it, but also talked eloquently:
"At first, I was renting here, and I was a little uncomfortable with it. The other party asked me to fake a professional identity, that is, a liquor salesman."
"It's a career in external publicity. This makes it easier for me to move on my own."
With a faint sigh, Yang Jie shook his head and said, "But actually, what do I know about liquor?"
"Sometimes, other residents living in this building will chat with me about my career and ask me some professional questions."
"I think when you do things for others, you can't mess things up, right? Otherwise, 2 yuan would be too much money, right?"
"So, I went to the Internet to learn about liquor."
Rubbing his face with his hands and trying to calm down, Yang Jie continued to explain: "In this way, I used some of the liquor knowledge I learned online to convince these residents that I am a liquor salesman."
"So, I usually stay here, observing the situation on the other side, and occasionally go out to the supermarket to buy some things."
After a pause, Yang Jie looked at Gu Chen and the others, and said quickly:
"Just now, when you met me, I was going to the supermarket outside to buy something."
After the words fell, Yang Jie felt panicked when he saw Gu Chen and others were silent.
But soon, Gu Chen asked another question: "Has the other party contacted you?"
"Yes." Yang Jie nodded.
"How many times?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Three...three times." Yang Jie stretched out three fingers.
"Then what did the other party ask every time?" Gu Chen continued to ask.
Yang Jie thought for a while and said slowly: "This is the first time that I called to ask about the specific situation. I said that everything was being done according to the other party's requirements."
"After all, I have never met the other party, and I just received a sum of money in such a confused way. I know that pie in the sky will not fall."
"The reason why I got the 2 yuan was certainly not for nothing. I asked him on the phone if he knew about my situation."
"What did the other party say?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Harmful!" Yang Jie sighed and quickly explained:
"The other party seemed to know that I carried it very hard during that period. I felt that I might have been targeted by someone, and that person should be someone who was very familiar with me."
"Even if it's not someone I'm familiar with, it must be someone my friends are familiar with, and it must be related to the people around me."
With a sigh, Yang Jie continued to explain: "I told him at the time that I didn't care who the other party was, I would take the 2 yuan job."
"The other party also told me that he knew my current situation and what I bought at the supermarket that day."
"This made me feel a little numb. I felt like that guy might be hiding in a dark place near me and has been watching me."
"Is it really so evil?" Listening to what Yang Jie said, Lu Weiwei felt a little unbelievable.
If you follow what Yang Jie said, what did you buy in the supermarket?The other party can clearly see it, so it is obvious that Yang Jie is under the other party's surveillance.
But the other party could obviously monitor it by himself, so why did he arrange for Yang Jie?
Moreover, Yang Jie handed over 2 yuan and this task to that celebrity without even meeting him. Aren't you afraid that Yang Jie would take the money and not do the work?
But thinking back, since the other person could understand Yang Jie's recent embarrassment, maybe he was a friend of Yang Jie's, or a friend of his friend.
Seeing that Lu Weiwei still didn't believe it, Yang Jie quickly clarified to himself: "I really don't know who that guy is? But what he said is absolutely right."
"The first time he took the initiative to contact me, he just wanted to tell me that I'd better stop playing tricks. He can control every move I make. I feel like he just wanted to give me some warning."
"Do you have any other questions?" Officer Wang said.
Yang Jie shook his head: "You didn't say much about other things? You just asked me, have you gone to observe the situation in the store opposite?"
"Then what do you say?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Yang Jie took a deep breath and said slowly: "What else can I say? I just took out my notebook and told him bit by bit, what time and what happened on the other side?"
Having said this, Yang Jie quickly walked to his bedside table and opened the cabinet.
Then, he took out a paper notebook, handed it to Gu Chen and said:
"The things I recorded are all here. You can take them and take a look."
Gu Chen took Yang Jie's paper notebook and quickly read through it.
It can be said that Yang Jie is quite serious about his work. Almost every moment of Yang Jie's observations are recorded here.
Including the time and minute, the specific situation on the other side, some people who entered the store, and my specific analysis of the situation on the other side.
It can be said that Yang Jie will record everything that can be recorded in detail. If there is no requirement to record anything, Yang Jie will also add a little personal analysis.
Gu Chen handed the notebook to Lu Weiwei aside, while he continued to interrogate Yang Jie:
"Yang Jie, after he told that person this, what was that person's reaction?"
"Very satisfied." Yang Jie said.
"Then what?" Gu Chen continued to ask.
"Then? Then he said that he would call again next time, and then hung up." Yang Jie continued to explain.
"So, this is the specific situation when the other party communicated with you for the first time?" Officer Wang was a little dumbfounded.
But Yang Jie replied firmly: "Yes, it's very simple, right? I also feel like an old guard, who even records the specific conditions of the store opposite every day."
"I feel like it's okay if I'm full, but 2 yuan is quite delicious. For money, I feel like I'm full and it's okay."
"You're quite open-minded." Seeing that Yang Jie was optimistic, Officer Wang said casually.
Yang Jie paused and shook his head helplessly: "There is no other way. Life is forcing us to do this."
After hearing what Yang Jie said, Gu Chen walked back and forth in front of him and said thoughtfully:
"I really want to know now, what did you say the second and third time?"
"The second time? I remember that the second time he called me, he also asked about some specific situations on the other side."
"It feels like the other party is very concerned about the owner of that shop, that old man. You must have met him before."
"That's right." Seeing Yang Jie talking about this, Gu Chen echoed without hesitation:
"We have indeed met that boss, but you said that the other party actually asked you to observe that boss?"
"Yes, observe the boss's daily life." Yang Jie said.
At this time, Officer Wang really felt that the other party seemed to be a little full, but he still wanted to know what was going to happen next, so he asked Yang Jie again:
"Yang Jie, let me ask you, does this person care so much about the shop opposite, especially the owner of the shop opposite, that he wants you to go get something from the opposite side?"
"Eh? How do you know?" Yang Jie was stunned for a moment when Officer Wang said this.
Officer Wang chuckled and said helplessly: "Did you secretly enter that store? Also secretly turned on a hidden light switch near the stairway? You also went up to the second floor to get a wooden box. thing?"
"Uh……"
Faced with Officer Wang's sharp questions, Yang Jie seemed a little overwhelmed.
Officer Wang continued to ask angrily: "Yes or no?"
"Yes... yes." Faced with Officer Wang's high-pressure attitude, Yang Jie shrank his neck, but still replied timidly:
"Yes, the other party asked me to closely observe the boss's movements, and based on my various observations over the past few days, I have indeed found out the boss's specific routine."
"Furthermore, I found that the boss's store did not have surveillance cameras installed, and there were no surveillance cameras nearby." "The most incredible thing to me was that this boss did not lock the door of the store during the day. He only opened the door after returning home at night. Lock it up."
After saying this, Yang Jie also sighed and said helplessly:
"So, when the mysterious employer called me for the second time and asked me to sneak into the house opposite as per his request, I was also very panicked."
"After all, as I said before, I just observed the situation of the store opposite, and I feel that the money is too good to make."
"But when the other party asked me to sneak in and take something away, I was a little panicked. I felt like they were asking me to steal? The mental burden was very heavy at the time."
"Then how did you choose?" Lu Weiwei said.
"How did I choose?" Yang Jie put his forehead with one hand and sighed:
"I don't know what I was thinking at the time? 2 yuan bought my dignity and made me weak."
"Before I started trading in stocks, I clearly had a lot of backbone, but later I discovered that backbone is worthless in the face of poverty."
With a sigh, Yang Jie also held his head and said, "I was struggling for a long time. I don't know if this is right or not?"
"But I know that the request made by the other party is quite simple to operate."
"Because, as long as the old man leaves the shop, then I just need to pretend to be a passing tourist, and nothing will happen."
"I could say when I was discovered, I just came in and looked at the buttons here."
"If the other party says that this place is private property and not open to the public, then I'll just leave. Just say that they mistakenly thought it was a store."
"Is it that simple?" Officer Wang asked.
"It's that simple." Yang Jie also echoed and continued:
"So, I followed the other party's request. I found that the previous ones were just foreshadowing."
"The other party asked me to keep observing the daily activities in the shop opposite. It felt like I was preparing to sneak in later."
"I found that according to the schedule I observed, I easily entered the interior of the store and quickly found the hidden light switch under the corridor."
"Wait a minute." After hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted and asked:
"You said that you found a hidden switch under the corridor entrance as required. Tell me, where is the switch?"
"Uh..." Facing Gu Chen's sharp eyes, Yang Jie was stunned and stammered:
"Just... right at the top of the stairs."
"The specific location." Gu Chen continued to ask in a stern tone.
Yang Jie couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, but he quickly explained:
"Just... just below the stairs, aren't there some decorative buckles hanging on the wall? You need to reverse the keychain's position to find the switch."
Hearing this, Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other, as if they all felt what the problem was.
You know, only the old man in the shop and his son who died in love knew where the secret light switch was?
But why would the person who hired Yang Jie know?
Also, what is the function of turning on this secret switch?We don't know yet, but the location is definitely right.
This really needs to be verified. What the white-haired old man in the shop said before was that when he entered the house and found that the light that had not been on for a long time came on, it felt like his son was back.
But the old man's son had already died in love, so how could he come back?
So later, the old man began to hang some soul-calling bells at the door, creating a mess.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Gu Chen quickly looked at Yang Jie and continued to ask:
"Yang Jie, the other party asked you to turn on the secret switch under the stairs. What is the purpose?"
"I don't know." Yang Jie shook his head and continued:
"All I know is, he was on the phone, asking me to turn on the light switch there, and then asking me what the situation was?"
"Wait a minute." After hearing this, Gu Chen heard another clue of the problem and said quickly:
"You mean, when you turned on that switch, the other party asked you for details?"
"Yes." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Yang Jie also nodded fiercely:
"So, that phone call was actually about listening to your report after you entered the room?"
"Uh..." Yang Jie felt a little nervous in his heart, but Yang Jie still explained honestly:
"No...that's right. The other party called me for the second time. After listening to my analysis of the specific situation report in the past few days, he asked me to choose a gap when the old man left and sneak into that store quickly."
"Then, what do I do? Completely obey the orders of an employer I have never met and do whatever he says?"
"He asked to find the hidden stair light switch, so I found it for him and turned it on."
"Later he asked me what was going on with the light? I said it kept flashing."
"Then what did he say next?" After hearing this, Lu Weiwei couldn't wait to know the result.
And Yang Jie also took a deep breath, trying to calm down his nervous emotions, and then said slowly:
"I told him that the light would flicker from time to time. Then, he didn't speak for a long time until I asked him on the phone, what should I do next?"
"He just told me to go directly to the second floor to find an exquisite wooden box."
"Then he asked me to find it and take a look at what was inside. I said it was a button with an eagle pattern. The man asked me to put on the button and come out quickly."
Having said this, Yang Jie also looked at Gu Chen and complained:
"Comrade police, that's what happened. I took away the button with the eagle pattern and quietly ran out without being noticed by anyone else."
After hearing what Yang Jie said, Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other, so Gu Chen asked Yang Jie again:
"Then where did you find the wooden box on the second floor?"
"It's very simple." Yang Jie looked relaxed and quickly replied:
"When I first started, I felt that it was quite difficult to find. I felt like I had to go to the second floor of other people's stores to look for things, but there were also a lot of buttons on the second floor. They were everywhere."
"If I were to look for it, it would probably take a long time. Besides, if the old man goes out, he will definitely come back."
"And based on my observations for many days, when the old man went out, he must have gone to buy groceries."
"It won't take too long. If I can't find it, I'll be really unlucky. I won't be able to leave when the old man comes back."
"But if the old man locks the door, then I really can't go out."
"Then how did you get out?" Lu Weiwei was also curious.
Yang Jie sighed and said with a wry smile: "Harm! What else can I do? I can only bite the bullet and look for it, trying to find out as much as possible within a safe time."
"Be more specific?" Gu Chen adjusted the law enforcement recorder and continued to urge.
"Okay." Glancing in Gu Chen's direction, Yang Jie continued to explain:
"I kept telling myself in my heart that it's important to rush for time, it's important to rush for time, but when I went up the narrow stairs to the second floor."
"But I found that the so-called exquisite wooden box was placed on a vessel in the center of the second floor."
With a heavy sigh, Yang Jie also felt relieved and said:
"So, I told the other party on the phone that I had found it, and I felt that my life was still good."
"So that's it, I took my things and left quickly."
"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly thought of something?He also quickly asked:
"I want to know, when you went up to the second floor, did you only take away the eagle-patterned button from the wooden box and nothing else happened?"
"What else?" Gu Chen asked, a little confused, and Yang Jie also scratched the back of his head.
"For example, have you met the civet cat on the second floor?" Lu Weiwei knew what Gu Chen wanted to ask?So he spoke out for Gu Chen.
As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Yang Jie suddenly realized and said quickly:
"Yes, I found a civet cat. It scared me at the time."
"Be more specific." Officer Wang frowned and said in a serious tone.
Yang Jie took back his previous relaxation and quickly returned to the interrogation stage, and also honestly explained:
"At that time, I saw a civet cat appear and block my way, which is the way to the stairs."
"I felt guilty at the time and was afraid that if I stayed here too long, the owner would discover me, so I wanted to leave in a hurry."
"But this civet cat keeps blocking the road. Moreover, the stairs are very narrow and there is no way around it."
"I was so anxious that I kicked the civet cat away."
"At that time, I kicked the civet cat from upstairs and fell all the way to the first floor."
Hearing this, Gu Chen and everyone looked at each other in shock. Gu Chen finally figured out why Officer Wang was crazily attacked by the civet cat when he went up to the second floor.
Perhaps it was because of Yang Jie's behavior that it awakened the memory of the civet cat being bullied by the old man's son.
Gu Chen remembered that the white-haired old man in the shop said that because his son had kicked and injured the civet cat, the civet cat had become very irritable since then.
Often when he meets the son of a white-haired old man, he will start to go on a rampage.
From a docile little kitten to a fighting tanuki.
Officer Wang slapped his forehead and said angrily: "Did I block all the attacks of this cat for you?"
Seeing Yang Jie looking at him with a confused expression, Officer Wang quickly explained:
"Just because of you, you kicked and injured that civet cat. You have to know that it was a female cat that had just given birth to several kittens."
"Your attack caused the civet cat to start to hate strangers again and attack people whenever it sees them."
After the words fell, Officer Wang directly showed the back of his right hand and explained:
"Did you see that? Thanks to you, I was scratched by that raccoon cat."
"But... but what does this have to do with me?" It seemed that he didn't know the grudge between the civet cat and the white-haired old man's son, so Yang Jie didn't get to Officer Wang's point.
But Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask you, Yang Jie, where did you take the things after you got them?"
"Put it in a designated place, in a nearby trash can, and let me wrap it in a red bag," Yang Jie said.
"Why?" Lu Weiwei questioned.
"I don't know either." Yang Jie shook his head and explained helplessly:
"I said, what's the point of leaving it here? He told me on the phone not to worry about it, just leave it, and then go back quickly and not go out again that day."
After a pause, Yang Jie sighed and said slowly: "Later, I also did what the other party wanted."
"Especially the next day, out of curiosity, I went to the place where the red bags were placed the night before to see what was going on."
"What's the result?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Haha." Yang Jie snorted twice, and said with a wry smile:
"The result? The result is that the red bag disappeared. I don't know if the person on the phone took it away? Or did the person on the phone hire someone else to take it away? I don't know."
"But one thing I am convinced of is that the mysterious employer on the phone has an informant around me, and he seems to be able to accurately grasp every move I make."
"The other party can even go in and operate it by himself. It seems that he hired me because he was not sure. Moreover, he may not be in Jiangnan City."
"And the reason why he knows my specific situation must be because there are other people around, maybe also employed by him."
Listening to Yang Jie's analysis, Gu Chen also became alert.
Yes, Yang Jie's every move seemed to be transparent to the other party, which was very abnormal.
Since there were no cameras installed here, Gu Chen concluded that the mastermind behind the phone call might be hiding nearby.
Or, as Yang Jie analyzed, there were other people around who were also employed by the mysterious employer on the phone.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly asked Yang Jie:
"What about the third phone call? What did the other party ask you to do?"
"Haha." After hearing Gu Chen's question, Yang Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly and said angrily:
"This third call is to ask me to put back the things I stole before."
"Put it back? You mean, put the button of the eagle totem you stole from the wooden box on the second floor opposite and put it back?" Lu Weiwei felt incredible.
But Yang Jie nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "It's ridiculous, right? I think it's ridiculous too."
"I don't even know what the other party wants to do? But after all, I have to agree to the other party's request. I can only bite the bullet and continue to carry out this damn mission."
