I am a super cop

Yang Jie's words seemed to make everyone believe that the station administrator seemed to be highly suspicious.

Of course, if what Yang Jie said was true, then Gu Chen had reason to believe that he could even investigate the station administrator.

"Yang Jie, you said this administrator has been lingering at the door of your residence, is it occasionally or often?" Gu Chen turned his pen with his right hand and continued to ask.

"Probably often, because this administrator, from the beginning, felt like he knew I would come."

After sniffing, Yang Jie added: "As you know, I have been saddled with debts because of stock trading. Sometimes, I often get lectured by debt collectors."

"So, I always stay vigilant and pay [-]% attention to all abnormal situations around me."

"Especially on my first night, I already felt something was wrong."

"What's the specific situation? Tell me." Officer Wang picked up the thermos cup and took a leisurely sip.

Yang Jie crossed his fingers and said slowly: "I remember that when I came to check in, that person looked at me with a normal look."

After thinking about it, Yang Jie added: "By the way, he told me in advance that the room I stayed in was a little cheaper than other rooms, but this room was a haunted house. Would I live in it?"

"I said stay, and he checked me in immediately, without any emotion on his face."

"So does this mean that this administrator's behavior towards your stay is normal?" Lu Weiwei was a little confused and felt that it should be a normal reaction.

But Yang Jie argued with reason: "That's not the case. The main thing is that no one has lived in this haunted house for several years. Think about it, no one has moved in for several years."

"But his room is very clean. Don't you think it's strange?"

"So you find it strange?" Yuan Shasha said.

Yang Jie nodded sharply: "Yes, and I heard from those residents that it seems that the administrator cleaned this room a few days in advance. It seems that he was aware that someone would stay here."

"Is it because I live in a haunted house? Therefore, the people here admire me. Occasionally, when we meet on the corridor, we will say hello casually."

"I learned from these people's random chats that this room has not been cleaned for several years."

"A few days before I moved in, the administrator went to clean it. When the resident saw it, he thought someone had reserved this room in advance, and he was very puzzled."

"But when they finally met me, they inquired and found out that I had not reserved that room in advance at all."

Taking a deep breath, Yang Jie glanced at everyone, leaned forward and said:

"So, doesn't this explain the problem? The administrator actually knew that I would come here."

"If we say who is most likely to take away my red bag, I think it should be the people nearby."

"And the most suspicious thing is the administrator."

After listening to Yang Jie's analysis, Gu Chen and his colleagues looked at each other.

This seems to be a reasonable enough reason.

But what about the administrator?We still don’t know yet, but at least one thing can be explained, that is, the administrator may really have some kind of problem.

"Comrade police, I'm telling the truth. This person does feel like he's been monitoring me. I feel this way very strongly."

"Okay." After listening to Yang Jie's words, Gu Chen also gave suggestions: "Yang Jie, based on your situation, we will verify it in detail."

"But there is one thing. You must cooperate with our police now and catch the man behind the scenes. Can you do this?"

"Okay." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Yang Jie readily agreed without even refuting.

In other words, Yang Jie had no other choice at all.

Choosing to cooperate with the police may be his best choice.

Gu Chen nodded silently, then asked some other questions, and then glanced at Yuan Shasha beside him.

At this moment, Yuan Shasha has completed the transcript and clicks to print.

The printer buzzed a few times. After Yuan Shasha sorted out the transcript papers, she stood up and came to Yang Jie.

"Take a look. If you have nothing else to add, just sign here and put your thumbprint." Yuan Shasha said.

"Okay." Yang Jie picked up the paper and checked it casually, then nodded slowly and said involuntarily:

"no problem."

"Here." Yuan Shasha handed him a pen.

Yang Jie quickly wrote his name and pressed his fingerprints.

Gu Chen immediately took out his mobile phone and started to contact Ding Liang.

Not long after, the call was connected, and Gu Chen quickly said: "Ding Liang, are you ready over there?"

"Don't worry, Gu Chen. I've already made arrangements. If you can hand him over to me after the interrogation is over," Ding Liang said on the phone.

"Okay, then you can come to the interrogation room to lead people over, um, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen looked at Yang Jie in front of him and said, "Yang Jie, I will hand you over to my colleague now. You can go back."

"However, all your living conditions must be under our supervision and you must actively cooperate with our police in handling the case. Can this be done?"

"Okay." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Yang Jie nodded firmly.

"Okay, then you wait here, my colleague will come to hand over to you soon."

After the words fell, Gu Chen stood up and signaled to the team members that they could leave.

……

……

Returning to the Criminal Investigation Team office, everyone immediately spread out the information and gathered together to prepare for discussion.

"Junior Brother Gu, what do you think is the possibility that the administrator of the inn is the mastermind behind it?"

"The possibility is very high." Gu Chen picked up the thermos cup, took a sip of water, and said quickly:
"This administrator, to be honest, his various behaviors are very weird."

"If even Yang Jie can find something unusual about him, then don't you think he is suspicious?"

"Of course it's suspicious." Lu Weiwei opened the drawer, took out her potato chips, took a few bites and said:

"To be honest, this administrator is the most likely person to take away the red bag. Moreover, with his status, he can completely monitor Yang Jie's every move."

"What exactly does Yang Jie do? He can easily control everything on the other side. In this case, it is most likely that he is the person behind the scenes and the same party, and it is not impossible that it is him?"

"Yeah." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen crossed his arms and lay on the seat. He also looked at Officer Wang aside and asked hurriedly:
"By the way, Senior Brother Wang, has Hu Shirley made any arrangements to return to the Magic City?"

"It has been arranged. According to your request, Hu Shirley will be released first to avoid alerting the enemy." Officer Wang said.

"Okay." After receiving the reply, Gu Chen asked He Junchao: "By the way, Senior Brother He, can the surveillance near the station capture the daily activities of the station administrator?"

"Let me take a look." At Gu Chen's request, He Junchao immediately launched an investigation.

Based on the monitoring scope, start looking for relevant clues.

"Gu Chen, what does the administrator look like?" He Junchao asked curiously.

"A middle-aged man, please call up the surveillance on that road." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he also took his own tea cup and came directly behind He Junchao.

He Junchao began to circle the surveillance camera, began to show the street scene, and gave up his position and said: "Who is it specifically? Please help me take a look."

Gu Chen didn't say much, quickly determined the location, and then directly clicked to speed up the playback.

In an instant, in the entire surveillance screen, the crowd seemed to have the special ability to move instantaneously, constantly shuttling and stopping in the streets.

Also at a certain point in time, Gu Chen decisively clicked pause, and then continued to enter the previous time, letting the progress bar return to a few minutes ago.

At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared on the street in a swaggering manner.

"It's him." After Lu Weiwei saw it, she also confirmed: "The administrator of the inn is definitely him."

"That's right." Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said:
"Yang Jie said that he stole the eagle totem button from the store, wrapped it in a red plastic bag, and threw it in a nearby trash can."

"But this trash can is not within our monitoring range, but the administrator of this station seems to be familiar with everything around it."

"If it were him, he could have set the location near the inn, and the trash can would be the place where he usually takes out the trash."

"This way, it will be easier to operate."

"Then do you think this person might be an accomplice of the person behind the scenes?" Officer Wang said.

"High probability, right?" Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and continued:

"How about we go to the inn now and talk to the administrator?"

"Then what are you waiting for? In fact, I have wanted to say it for a long time." Yuan Shasha said.

Officer Wang said, "Do you want someone to bring him here?"

Gu Chen thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No, he manages the situation at the inn alone. Let's go there and give him some convenience."

"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen had said so, Officer Wang couldn't say anything else.
So, everyone immediately got in the car and started driving towards the inn.

……

……

When everyone arrived at the previous station, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, many people can still be heard playing cards around, and their voices are also very loud.

As for the administrator's residence, on the far right side of the first floor, there is a temporary canteen where people come in from time to time to buy late night snacks.

It can be said that the administrator has taken the lazy economy to its extreme.

Especially in cold weather, many people are unwilling to go far to go shopping in the supermarket.

Therefore, the administrator's room on the first floor became a place for everyone to purchase food.

There are not only daily foods such as instant noodles and ham sausages, but also cigarettes, melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge, beer, drinks and mineral water.

There are even some daily necessities.

Of course, the cigarettes sold by the administrator here can even be sold in bulk.

It's an exaggeration to say that most of the residents living here don't have much money.

In addition, most people like to play cards for fun, so they often have little spare money.

Buying loose cigarettes seems to have become the consensus here.

Of course, the administrator is also happy to provide convenience for everyone.

When Gu Chen led everyone to the administrator's door, a middle-aged man wearing slippers had already walked out of the room carrying two bottles of beer and a bag of melon seeds.

When they saw Gu Chen and the others, they just looked at them twice and walked directly upstairs.

The slippers made a loud "ta-da-da" sound, which lit up all the sensor lights in the corridor.

Gu Chen came to the door, and at this moment, the administrator was lying on the bed, watching the beautiful ladies dancing on the phone.

The sound and movement were a bit loud, and he didn't even notice Gu Chen and the others at the door.

"What do you want?" Although he knew someone was at the door, the administrator just asked casually without focusing on the door.

"Hello." Gu Chen greeted casually.

The administrator's expression was startled, and he quickly turned to look in the direction of Gu Chen.

When he saw that the visitors were four uniformed police officers, the administrator quickly put down his cell phone, found his slippers and put them on, stood up and asked:

"Comrade police, what...what..."

Halfway through the words, the administrator was stunned, and pointed at Gu Chen and the others and said:

"Eh? Didn't you come to my place once before?"

"That's right, last time I was looking for someone, this time I'm looking for you." Lu Weiwei said.

"Looking for me?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the administrator looked a little surprised.

Officer Wang said slowly: "I want to talk to you about some things. Isn't it convenient?"

"Uh……"

Looking around, the administrator said with an embarrassed look, "I don't know what you mean by inconvenience."

"Can we talk here?" Yuan Shasha said. "Of course." After the words fell, the administrator looked at the messy environment around him and said with an embarrassed look:

"It's my place, it's a bit messy."

"It doesn't matter, we are here to ask you, the environment is not important." Lu Weiwei said.

Seeing everyone saying this, the administrator hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded and said without hesitation:

"Then...okay." He turned around and lifted off part of the quilt on the bed. Then, he found a plastic stool from the corner and handed it to everyone and said:

"Sit down wherever you want."

"Thank you." Gu Chen took the plastic bag and sat down casually with everyone.

Officer Wang, who was sitting at the door, closed the door directly.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the dim room seemed a bit awkward.

The administrator found four bottles of mineral water from the carton in the corner where the goods were piled, and handed them to everyone respectively:

"You take this water and drink it. I don't boil water here."

"Thank you." Everyone accepted the mineral water handed over by the administrator and placed it on the ground.

Gu Chen also got straight to the point and said, "Don't be nervous. We are here this time just to find out more about the situation from you. We hope you can answer truthfully."

"Answer truthfully, I will definitely answer truthfully." Seeing what Gu Chen said, the administrator quickly agreed.

"Okay, first question, what's your name?" Gu Chen said.

"Uh, my name is... Zeng Huaqiang." The man named Zeng Huaqiang also quickly replied.

"Please report your ID number." Gu Chen said.

"The ID number is..."

Zeng Huaqiang also quickly replied.

After completing the input of basic information, Gu Chen started to get to the point: "Where are you from?"

"Haidong people." Zeng Huaqiang said.

"Are you the boss here?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Yes, I am the boss here." Zeng Huaqiang quickly replied.

Gu Chen turned his pen with his right hand, adjusted the angle of the law enforcement recorder, and then asked again:
"I ask you now, how long have you been running this inn?"

"Uh……"

When asked here, Zeng Huaqiang paused and seemed not to answer immediately.

Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Isn't it convenient to say?"

"No." Zeng Hua shook his head and said involuntarily:

"I took over this half a month ago."

"Half a month ago?" After hearing what Zeng Huaqiang said, Officer Wang said in disbelief:

"That means that the previous owner of this inn was someone else?"

"Yes." Zeng Huaqiang nodded silently and continued to explain:
"The previous boss had other business to do, so he wanted to transfer this inn."

"Of course, this inn is actually the property of the village committee here. It is just rented out in its entirety."

"Because this used to be a primary school, and in order to facilitate the accommodation of these migrant workers, the prices here have never been very high, so the profits are low."

With a faint sigh, Zeng Huaqiang continued to explain: "Actually, it's really not profitable to run an inn in this place."

"It's really not profitable, so why don't you take over?" Yuan Shasha said with a smile.

"That can't be said." Seeing that Yuan Shasha didn't seem to know the specific situation, Zeng Huaqiang quickly explained:

"Actually, it's really not profitable to run this station. Moreover, the local village committee also said that this is a public welfare project."

"In the past, the village committee ran the business by itself, and then hired the administrator to come and work. Later, it felt like it was time-consuming and laborious."

"So, this inn was contracted out, but the price could not be changed. This led to a consequence that the administrator did not make much money, and he was also responsible for the abnormal cleaning of these rooms, which made him look tired."

"But I can still make some small money. After all, there is still some profit margin. The more people stay, the more I will make."

After thinking about it, Zeng Huaqiang added: "One more thing, as you just saw, I can run the canteen in the room."

"Actually, you can make a lot of money by selling snacks every day. Because there are many people staying here, you will buy snacks a lot. This profit is a bit big."

"Okay." Seeing Zeng Huaqiang telling him everything about the situation at the inn, Gu Chen continued to ask him:
"Then why is there a room here that is a haunted house?"

"Haunted house?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, and remembering the previous situation where Gu Chen's team came to look for someone, Zeng Huaqiang hesitated for a few seconds, and then said slowly:

"Oh, are you talking about this? It seems that a young couple lived here before. As you know, most of the people who work here are doing simple jobs."

“Besides, when there are more people and everyone is present, it becomes a bit complicated.”

"What's the specific situation?" Officer Wang didn't want to hear too much nonsense from the administrator, so he urged.

The administrator nodded silently: "Okay, actually, it's a conflict between two lovers. I heard that it seems that the woman is carrying her boyfriend behind her back and has an unclear relationship with someone outside."

"In the end, the man lost control and strangled his girlfriend to death in the room."

With a heavy sigh, the administrator said helplessly: "So, from then on, this room became a haunted house."

"Okay." After listening to the administrator's explanation, Gu Chen continued:

"Also, have you known this Yang Jie before?"

"Yang Jie? You mean, the person who lives in the haunted house?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, the administrator confirmed again and again.

Seeing Gu Chen nodding silently, the administrator shook his head and denied: "I don't know him."

"This person is just a tenant who comes here to stay. He is a salesman selling drinks. That's all I know."

"Really?" Lu Weiwei asked him teasingly.

When the administrator saw Lu Weiwei's posture, he immediately grinned and said quickly:

"Hey, look what you said, I just don't know him, what? Do you think I've known him before?"

Seeing that the administrator said this, Gu Chen simply nodded.

But this time the administrator smiled bitterly and said: "Don't make fun of me. Although I haven't taken over this inn for a long time, I am fairly familiar with the residents here."

"But what I know about the man named Yang Jie is limited to these things."

"I'm not sure about other situations."

"Do you have any friends in Magic City?" Lu Weiwei asked casually after hearing what the administrator said.

"Magic City?" Shaking his head, the administrator also denied it:

"Although I have worked in Shanghai, I don't have many friends there."

"Have you ever worked in Shanghai?" Hearing what the administrator said, Gu Chen suddenly became interested and quickly asked:
"When did you work in Magic City?"

"Uh……"

After hesitating for a moment, the administrator looked embarrassed, but still explained slowly:
"That's right, just before I came here to run this inn."

"That means you have been staying in Magic City before coming here?" Officer Wang heard the problem and hurriedly asked.

After all, many of these things that happened were related to the Demon City.

Especially the button with the eagle totem, which Hu Shirley and Nie Ping had previously purchased from a trendy store in Shanghai.

Subsequently, the various harassment threats Hu Shirley received seemed to come from the Magic City.

Previously, Zhang Zhiqiang, who was responsible for installing the security fence outside the concert, was actually from Shanghai, but he is now missing and his whereabouts are unknown.

And Yang Jie also came from Magic City and was employed by a mysterious man in Magic City.

In addition, Hu Shirley later came from the Magic City, and now, the administrator of this station is also from the Magic City.

And the timing was very coincidental, as I came here to run an inn right after leaving the Magic City.

No matter how you look at it, you think you are waiting for Yang Jie to appear.

After all, everyone knew something from Yang Jie before, that is, the administrator. It seemed that he had long known that Yang Jie was coming to stay in this inn and that haunted house.

As if everything is under the control of the administrator.

It was because of this excessive calmness that Yang Jie became suspicious of the administrator.

But now, Gu Chen's team seems to have further confirmed the administrator's situation during the questioning process.

That is the administrator, maybe it is really related to this mysterious person behind the scenes.

"Zeng Huaqiang." Seeing Zeng Huaqiang in a daze, Gu Chen continued to remind him.

"Ah?" Zeng Huaqiang, who was slow to respond, finally recovered from his confusion and asked quickly:
"What... what?"

"I'm just asking you, before you came here, did you always work in the Magic City?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Yes... yes, I have been working in the Magic City." Zeng Huaqiang lowered his head and seemed a little nervous.

But all this was seen by everyone.

So Gu Chen asked Zeng Huaqiang again: "What were your main jobs in Shanghai before?"

"Just...just the construction site." Zeng Huaqiang said.

"Civil engineering?" Officer Wang helped him describe the nature of his work in a more respectable manner.

"Yes, actually, I just help people look at the materials, and then put them into storage and register them. I used to do this exclusively."

"Then why would you think of suddenly coming to Jiangnan City to work as the owner of this inn?" Lu Weiwei was also very curious.

Zeng Huaqiang grinned: "Well...actually, the main reason is that the previous boss was a friend of a friend of mine. I heard that he wanted to transfer this inn."

"And after a little inquiry, it seems that the income is quite considerable. After all, the previous boss had a lot of business to deal with, and the inn was just one of his many businesses."

"So, I thought, if I come here to pick up leaks, maybe I can make some money."

With a faint sigh, Zeng Huaqiang also said slowly: "So, I decided to come here and take over the inn."

"Then before you came here, did anyone in the Magic City tell you anything?"

As soon as Zeng Huaqiang finished speaking, Gu Chen asked quickly.

Zeng Huaqiang's expression was stunned, and he hesitated: "What does this mean? Why can't I understand it?"

"That's it, has anyone in the Magic City said hello to you? For example, is there a person named Yang Jie who will stay here?"

Lu Weiwei was quite straightforward, going straight to the point and telling the specific situation.

Just as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Zeng Huaqiang's face suddenly became ugly.

His eyes were evasive, and he was extremely nervous.

When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly asked him: "What? Has anyone told you something?"

"Comrade police, why do you ask this? What's the basis?" Zeng Huaqiang seemed a little confused, but in fact, the questions asked by Gu Chen's team just now made Zeng Huaqiang seem a little guilty.

So Gu Chen continued: "Basis? You don't need to worry about this. I'm just asking you, has anyone told you anything?"

"No." After Gu Chen finished speaking, Zeng Huaqiang immediately shook his head in denial.

"Are you sure? Or are you hiding something from us? In fact, you have known for a long time that a man named Yang Jie will come to your inn and check into the room in that haunted house."

"Moreover, the person behind the scenes even asked you to perform a certain task, such as going to the trash can and taking away a red plastic bag within the specified time."

"And at some point, the red plastic bag was put back. Did these things happen?" Gu Chen continued to ask.
