I am a super cop

In the living room, Nie Jun also explained the business logic of the vegetable market to Gu Chen and others.

It also gave Gu Chen a new understanding of the narrow vegetable market.

"So your cousin helped you get that stall, and you've been selling vegetables in the market, right?" Gu Chen said.

Nie Jun nodded silently: "Yes, although it is a bit hard, but fortunately I am a local and speak the local language. Compared with those from outside, the locals are more willing to buy my food."

"Moreover, the vegetables I wholesale can be sold out on the same day, so I have more cash flow."

"Hard work is hard work, but making money is really making money."

"Okay." Seeing Nie Jun start to talk about his basic life, Gu Chen also got a rough understanding.

Of course, what Gu Chen wanted to know was much more than that. For example, how closely did Nie Jun relate to the buttons of the eagle totem?
  Also, does the missing Zhang Zhiqiang have anything to do with Nie Jun? This Gu Chen needs to be investigated intensively.

After thinking for a short time, Gu Chen also asked slowly: "Nie Jun, let me ask you, what topics does your cousin usually talk about when he comes to see you in the market?"

"Huh?" Seeing Gu Chen suddenly ask this question, Nie Jun was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and said with a smile:
  "My cousin came to me, of course, to talk to me about some daily life topics."

"Does he usually chat with you for a long time in the vegetable market?" Lu Weiwei also quickly asked.

Nie Jun nodded silently: "It seems so. He has become a loner since his son passed away."

Afraid that Gu Chen and others would not understand, Nie Jun quickly explained: "Because his wife passed away very early, and he only has one son."

"But because of emotional problems, he committed suicide by jumping into the river in the magical city. Therefore, in the past few years, he has been a loner. He doesn't like to talk to others and always likes to close himself off."

With a faint sigh, Nie Jun continued: "I don't think this is an option, so I told him that if you are bored, you can come to the vegetable market and chat with me."

"Therefore, the vegetable market is the most lively area in a place. In the vegetable market, people will become cheerful."

"So, my cousin also listens to my words, so he comes to the vegetable market every day to buy some food or something. Anyway, he comes here every time to take care of my business."

"Then, he stayed in front of my stall, chatted with me, and also added some popularity to my stall."

Looking around, Nie Jun also smiled and said: "As you know, we Chinese people like to be lively. When there is no one at your stall, it is very difficult to do business."

“But once there is someone at your stall, even if it’s just one person buying food, there will soon be a lot of people coming here to buy food.”

After a pause, Nie Jun continued to explain: "So, every time my cousin comes to my place, he will chat with me for a long time."

"Okay." Seeing that Nie Jun said it in great detail, Gu Chen wrote it down and continued to ask him:
  "Then your cousin, I usually chat with you about daily life, but also talk about other things?"

"Other things? What do you mean?" Faced with Gu Chen's question, Nie Jun expressed confusion.

"Just like this." Gu Chen also got straight to the point, took out his phone, opened the photo album, and showed the photo of the eagle totem button in front of Nie Jun.

Nie Jun was stunned, and a trace of surprise seemed to flash in his eyes.

But soon, Nie Jun came back to his senses, stabilized his condition, and quickly smiled at Gu Chen and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the relic of your cousin's son Nie Ping." Officer Wang said.

"Relic?" Nie Jun was stunned, and he raised his head to think. After a moment, he said:

"Oh, I remembered, yes, my cousin's son does have a relic, it seems to be this button with an eagle pattern."

Leaning forward and approaching Gu Chen, Nie Jun added, "I heard that it was a love token given to him by Nie Ping's ex-girlfriend."

"You know this?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows.

But Nie Jun quickly shook his head and denied: "I don't know him, I just met him and heard my cousin talk about it."

"Then have you ever heard your cousin talk about this eagle totem button?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Uh……"

After hesitating for a moment, Neijun shook his head and denied: "No."

"Very good." Seeing Nie Jun's denial, Gu Chen moved the photo to the next one and continued:

"Do you know this person?"

Looking at the photo, Nie Jun's face was suddenly startled, but his expression remained motionless.

Gu Chen saw from Nie Jun's eyes that Nie Jun was surprisingly quiet.

After a moment, Nie Jun also shook his head: "I don't know him."

"Are you really not familiar with him or are you pretending not to be familiar with him?" Gu Chen's sharp eyes were fixed on Nie Jun in front of him.

Of course, Nie Jun's performance was also within Gu Chen's expectations. If Nie Jun knew Zhang Zhiqiang in the photo, he would definitely be surprised.

There is another situation, like just now, you clearly know someone, but you have to pretend not to know them.

Although I was shocked by the photo, I still had to show a surprising calmness.

Of course, Gu Chen's eyes never left Nie Jun's eyes from the moment he showed the photo.

He also noticed that Nie Jun was calm just now, as if he was pretending to be calm.

Nie Jun seemed to behave very differently when he saw the buttons of the eagle totem before.

"Comrade police, I really don't know this person? Who is he? Could you please explain to me?"

"Maybe, I may have seen it, but I couldn't remember it for a while. Maybe it was a customer who came to buy food from me, right?"

"After all, there are many customers coming and going to buy vegetables at my vegetable stall every day. I can't remember them all, right?"

Seeing that Nie Jun asked him a question, Gu Chen grinned and said slowly:

"This man's name is Zhang Zhiqiang. He comes from Shanghai. Your cousin should know him better."

"Oh?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Nie Jun also smiled and said:

"But it's not surprising. My cousin has lived in that area for a long time, most of his life. He knows many people."

"In particular, his son built a collection there, which looks like an art museum and attracts many passing tourists to visit."

After a pause, Nie Jun said again: "I think this is called Zhang...what is Zhang?"

"Zhang Zhiqiang." Seeing that Nie Jun couldn't pronounce Zhang Zhiqiang's full name, Lu Weiwei quickly added.

"Oh, yes, the man named Zhang Zhiqiang may have met my cousin, but I definitely have no impression of him."

"Really?" Seeing that Nie Jun's expression was very calm, but his legs began to tremble involuntarily, Gu Chen found it interesting and hurriedly asked:
  "Are you cold?"

"Ah?" Nie Jun was stunned by Gu Chen's question and said curiously:

"I...I'm not cold."

"You're not cold, so why are your legs shaking?" Gu Chen directly exposed Nie Jun's lies without giving any face.

Nie Jun was startled. He quickly looked at his trembling legs, pressed them down with his hands and said:
  "Haha, what about this? Isn't it because strangers haven't been in the house for a long time?"

"You guys suddenly came to my house this late at night and said you were here to investigate a case."

"But I also feel like, has my cousin done something wrong? So when I'm nervous, my legs can't help but tremble."

"Really?" Seeing that what Nie Jun said seemed reasonable, Lu Weiwei also laughed and continued to ask:

"Nie Jun, have you been helping your cousin with anything recently?"

"Ah?" Feeling a little confused, Nie Jun quickly asked Lu Weiwei: "How do you say this?"

"Have you seen Zhang Zhiqiang recently?" Lu Weiwei continued to ask him.

Nie Jun took a deep breath, then smiled and said: "Comrade policewoman, I have already said what you said. I don't even know this person named Zhang... Why is Zhang so strong?"

"Zhang Zhiqiang." Seeing that Nie Jun could not remember the other party's full name, Lu Weiwei was patient and continued to add.

"Yes, I don't know this person named Zhang Zhiqiang at all. Maybe he came to my vegetable market to buy vegetables. Maybe I met him by chance, but he definitely hasn't done any business with me."

After the words fell, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang all fell silent, and the atmosphere became surprisingly awkward.

After Nie Jun took a deep breath, he continued: "Oh, maybe I haven't seen him at all. After all, you also said that he is from Shanghai, so he must have never come to buy food from me, right? "

"Nie Jun, what kind of properties do you have?" Faced with Nie Jun's vague, or rather flustered answer.

Gu Chen didn't want to beat around the bush and asked him straightforwardly.

Nie Jun was stunned, and then said with a sneer: "Comrade police, you can't trust me?"

"We are just handling the case and going through the procedures." Officer Wang also discussed the situation with Nie Jun and explained the situation to Nie Jun.

Nie Jun sighed, nodded silently, and said involuntarily:

"The units on the second, third, and fourth floors across from each other are my family's properties. There are six units in total."

"Where's the basement on the first floor? How many units are there?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly.

"Two sets, one is downstairs from me and one is in the building opposite." Nie Jun seemed to know clearly at this moment that Gu Chen and others were interrogating him.

The enthusiasm just now was gone, and the answer was a little cold.

Of course, Gu Chen could understand a little emotion, and Gu Chen didn't care at all.

What Gu Chen cares about is whether he can find the missing Zhang Zhiqiang. This is very important.

So, Gu Chen also reminded: "Let's go through the procedures. Please take out the keys to all the properties in your house and take us over to check them out."

"No." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Nie Jun suddenly became really anxious. He quickly stood up and said with a strong attitude:
  "Comrade police, what have I done? You don't believe me?"

"We now suspect that you are related to Zhang Zhiqiang's disappearance. Of course, this is also for the investigation. We also ask for your cooperation. Can you take us over to check and dispel our concerns?"

Lu Weiwei was polite in what she said. Although everyone investigated along the way, they also felt that there were many doubts about Nie Jun.

However, everyone never broke up with each other and still communicated with him in a soft tone.

But at this time, Nie Jun seemed to be mentally unbalanced. He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Comrade police, I'm just a vegetable seller. I don't have to play tricks on you, do I?"

Raising his right index finger, Nie Jun added: "If I know you, I know you. If you don't know me, I don't know you. Do I need to hide this from you?"

"So." Seeing that Nie Jun seemed to be a little emotional, Officer Wang immediately interrupted his words and continued:

"So, in order to verify that our previous guesses are wrong, you should take us through the process and check various rooms and basements. Wouldn't this prove that you are fine?"

Grinning, Officer Wang also continued: "So, you should support our work even more, right?"

After the words fell, Nie Jun didn't respond for a long time. He just stood there blankly, his body rising and falling with his breath, and he seemed to be a little emotional.

When Lu Weiwei saw this, she also smiled and said: "What? Are you afraid that we will wrongly accuse you?"

"Okay." After all the words had been said, it felt like it would be impossible not to agree.

Nie Jun took a deep breath and reluctantly walked to his bedroom.

Upon seeing this, Officer Wang pretended to move casually and slowly followed to the door of the room.

Seeing Nie Jun looking for the key, Officer Wang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly pushed it to the living room.

Not long after, Nie Jun held a bunch of keys and said helplessly to everyone:

"You want to investigate the case, okay, I'll just cooperate with you."

"Thank you very much." Gu Chen said some polite words.

After all, in Gu Chen's opinion, Nie Jun did have some problems.

Nie Jun didn't think much and led everyone directly out of the room to the opposite door.

Lu Weiwei also asked out of curiosity: "Are you the only resident in this building?"

"Yes." Seeing Lu Weiwei suddenly asking, Nie Jun also explained:

"This building is newly built. When we allocated rooms, my family was allocated here. It is in a corner. The location is not very good."

"Okay, I understand." Seeing what Nie Jun said, Lu Weiwei didn't want to interrupt.

I saw Nie Jun opening the door opposite and letting everyone go in and take a look.

The room opposite has roughly the same structure as the room where Nie Jun lives now.

Since it has not been renovated, it is currently just a rough house.

Therefore, apart from some debris piled up inside, there was nothing unusual.

Gu Chen nodded silently, indicating that he could go to the next apartment.

In this way, Nie Jun led Gu Chen and others back and forth between his several suites.

In a short time, all suites were inspected.

"And your basement." Gu Chen returned to the stairs and continued to remind.

"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen still had requests, Nie Jun felt that if he didn't check Gu Chen, the policeman would definitely not give up, so he continued to nod and led Gu Chen and others downstairs.

Because the first floor here is a basement structure, and this building is currently occupied by Nie Jun's family.

Therefore, this room seems very quiet overall.

"Click!" The sound of Nie Jun twisting the key sounded, and then Nie Jun raised his hands hard.

Suddenly there was a twisting movement from the folding door, and it was slowly lifted up.

Nie Jun also walked into the basement, turned on the lights, and reminded: "This is my basement. It is full of debris. I usually put my tricycle in it, and sometimes I park it outside."

"Okay." Gu Chen walked into the basement and began to observe the surrounding situation while listening to Nie Jun's explanation.

This is a utility room filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items.

Since some of Nie Jun's sundries are placed in the rough room opposite, there doesn't seem to be a lot of sundries here.

However, since there are no doors or windows in the rough house opposite Nie Jun's house, it looks relatively empty overall.

Therefore, generally important items will still be placed in this kind of basement with rolling shutter doors.

After taking Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang around the basement, Gu Chen came to the door and continued to remind: "Didn't you say there is another basement?"

"Yes, you want to see it too?" Nie Jun seemed reluctant.

But Gu Chen nodded silently and continued to urge: "Then I'll help you, continue to take us there to have a look."

"Okay." With a heavy sigh, Nie Jun shook his head helplessly, and then reluctantly led everyone to the basement door of the opposite building.

Using the key to open the rolling shutter door, Nie Jun also continued to explain: "This is another basement of my house. It is the same size as the previous one."

While talking, Nie Jun continued to push the rolling shutter door open.

Gu Chen walked directly into the basement without saying a word.

At this moment, Officer Wang also found the light switch and turned on the light with ease.

In an instant, the entire basement was filled with light, and Gu Chen's sharp eyes quickly scanned everything here.

Soon, Gu Chen noticed that there seemed to be a strange smell in the entire basement.

Seeing Gu Chen staring blankly at everything in front of him, Lu Weiwei came to Gu Chen's side and asked in a low voice:

"Junior Brother Gu, do you smell it?"

Gu Chen turned his head and looked at Lu Weiwei, and nodded in agreement: "Yes."

"Yes." After receiving Gu Chen's affirmation, Lu Weiwei became more convinced of her judgment.

That was the smell of blood. Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen had experienced handling many cases, so they naturally knew this smell.

What's more, this basement has a closed rolling shutter door.

It is usually sealed, so various smells are often trapped in this underground space.

At this moment, Officer Wang looked at the incomprehensible expressions of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and coupled with his own experience in judging the environment, he seemed to smell that familiar smell.

So, Officer Wang pretended to be casual and sniffed the surrounding air, then approached Nie Jun and asked:

"Why does your basement smell so weird?"

"Huh?" Nie Jun was stunned for a moment when asked by Officer Wang, and quickly asked:

"What's weird? It's always been like this, okay?"

"That's not right." Officer Wang shook his right index finger and expressed his opinion:

"This basement is completely different from the one just now."

After hearing what Officer Wang said, Nie Jun also scratched the back of his head and said in confusion:

"What's the difference?"

"Furniture..." Officer Wang said halfway.

"Furniture? The furniture is different?" Nie Jun quickly answered.

"No, the furniture is the same." Officer Wang directly denied it and continued:
  "But the smell here seems different."

"Smell?" What did you find? Nie Jun took a quick sniff and said with a puzzled look on his face:

"Why didn't I smell it?"

"How could you smell it?" Seeing that Nie Jun still seemed to be questioning everyone's professionalism.

Lu Weiwei took two steps forward and said slowly:
  "This kind of smell is difficult for ordinary people to identify, and there is only a trace amount of it in the air."

"But it should be quite familiar to us, so you can't smell it, which is normal, but we can smell it."

"Yes...really?" Seeing what Lu Weiwei said so mysteriously, Nie Jun was stunned and said slowly:
  "Then...comrade policewoman, can you smell anything?"

"The smell of blood." Lu Weiwei suddenly turned around and waved her right index finger at Nie Jun.

Nie Jun was so frightened that he stepped back and asked quickly: "Blood...the smell of blood? Haha, how is it possible? How can there be the smell of blood? Are you mistaken?"

"There's no mistake." As soon as Nie Jun finished speaking, Gu Chen took a step forward and said calmly:

"There is indeed some smell of blood in the air."

"Is that so?" It felt like everyone was convinced. Nie Jun suddenly felt a little panicked, so he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Ah! I know. I bought a chicken in the past two days. It was a live chicken. It was killed or plucked in this basement."

Looking up at Gu Chen and the others, Nie Jun also justified himself and said: "So, this smell must be the smell left when I killed the chicken. That's why you feel this smell, right?"

Seeing that Gu Chen and others were silent, Nie Jun suddenly felt a little panicked and continued:
  "Haha, I didn't smell it myself, or do you have sharper noses? Can you smell this? Amazing!"

While speaking, Nie Jun also gave a thumbs up to Gu Chen and others.

But Gu Chen snorted coldly and continued: "Nie Jun, you may be mistaken. We can smell the smell of blood and chicken feathers."

"It can be said that there is no smell of killing chickens and plucking feathers here at all. This is not the bloody smell of poultry at all."

"No...it's not?" Feeling that Gu Chen was making things difficult for himself, Nie Jun was stunned and quickly said again:

"But I did kill a chicken here!"

Gu Chen ignored him and continued to search the basement.

Since it is a basement, there are some debris piled here, but compared to the basement just now, there is obviously much less debris.

Moreover, this basement is not decorated and the floor is rough cement.

Therefore, Gu Chen quickly discovered through the cement on the ground that there seemed to be a mark of friction in the corner.

So Gu Chen slowly walked towards the corner, and at the same time, Gu Chen also glanced at Nie Jun from the corner of his eye.

But at this moment, Nie Jun swallowed nervously to calm down his nervousness.

Without thinking too much, Gu Chen pulled directly to the area with friction marks on the ground, squatted down, and inspected it carefully.

When Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang saw this, they also gathered around.

"This place, I think, is the mark left after a struggle." Gu Chen didn't speak here, but Lu Weiwei slowly said what Gu Chen was thinking.

Gu Chen also nodded silently: "It's a bit similar."

"This place, could it be that..." Officer Wang hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Nie Jun behind him.

At this moment, Nie Jun seemed to be panicking. He only dared to stand behind everyone and did not dare to come forward.

Gu Chen stood up and looked at the scratches in the corner of the wall and asked, "How did you do this?"

"Ah?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Nie Jun hurried forward to check, but he shook his head and couldn't help but said: "I don't remember much either."

"Maybe it's the traces of friction from when my spouse and others put things here before and then moved them, right?"

"Is that true?" After hearing Nie Jun's words, Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, that seems to be the case." Nie Jun was panicking at the moment, but he still nodded in agreement.

When Gu Chen looked back at the traces on the ground, the flow of data in his mind instantly began to overturn.

Soon, many lines based on traces on the ground appeared in front of Gu Chen's eyes.

These winding lines instantly form a totem.

And these line totems began to move along the scratches on the ground.

Gu Chen's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"That's right, someone was tied up here. To be precise, they were tied up and put in a large sack."

"Because his hands were tied behind his back and inside the sack, the person involved was extremely panicked and began to struggle."

"But at this time, the legs are also tied very tightly. There is no other way but to keep rubbing, rubbing, and rubbing again."

"Over time, these irregular scratches on the ground formed."

With these thoughts in mind, the pictures in Gu Chen's mind began to return to reality along with his thoughts.

The lines on the ground began to slowly disappear.

"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen standing there blankly, seeming to be thinking about something? Lu Weiwei said quickly:
  "Do you think the scratches on the ground look like the marks of someone huddled in a corner and struggling?"

Seeing that Lu Weiwei also saw the clues, Gu Chen just smiled slightly, turned to look at Nie Jun behind him, and said:

"This question should be answered by Nie Jun himself."

"Me?" When seeing Gu Chen posing the question to him again, Nie Jun felt panicked and said with a wry smile:

"Comrade police, are you kidding me? Why do I have such marks here? Didn't I tell you before? It may be the shape caused by friction when my lover moved things."

"Nie Jun." Seeing that Nie Jun was still trying to justify himself, Gu Chen also grinned and continued:
  "Did you know that in our police forensic testing, there is a reagent called luminol reagent?"

"Wha...what Luminol? I don't know." Seeing Gu Chen suddenly mention this issue, Nie Jun was extremely resistant.

But Officer Wang grinned and said slowly: "Where is this luminol reagent? It's actually nothing. You just cleaned up the blood stains at the scene clean enough."

"That's okay? But as long as we use luminol reagent, lightly spray some on the cleaned blood stains."

"If blue fluorescence can be found in these places, it means that there were traces of blood here."

"Uh……"

It felt like this was the first time he had heard of such a thing. Nie Jun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said with a forced smile:
  "So that's it? Then if I kill the chicken here, won't there be blood everywhere?"

"But does this thing need the luminol reagent you used?"

"You may be mistaken." Seeing that Nie Jun did not understand what he meant, Officer Wang continued to explain patiently:

"What I mean is, even if the blood from the chicken you killed has been cleaned up, then the distribution of traces at the scene can still tell what you were doing here at that time?"

"But if there are some irregular divisions in the blood stains at the scene, coupled with various frictions on the ground..."

Officer Wang said half of the sentence, but he also deliberately kept it secret. Instead of grinning, he asked Nie Jun:
  "Then what do you think the result will be?"

"Knot... knot... what's the result? I... how do I know?"

When he said these words, Nie Jun's nervousness was obviously much higher than before.

Everyone is not stupid and can see the problem from Nie Jun's reaction.

So, Officer Wang walked up to Nie Jun and deliberately slapped Nie Jun on the shoulder with his hand.

Nie Jun was also made to sink by this sudden blow, but he quickly straightened his back.

But Officer Wang smiled strangely and continued: "Nie Jun, have you done anything bad in this basement?"

"What?" Nie Jun was also frightened by Officer Wang's question. He shrank back, got rid of Officer Wang's right hand that slapped his shoulder, and continued:
  "Comrade police, I know you may like to joke, but I still hope you won't make such jokes."

"Am I joking? Haha, I'm not joking, I'm serious. Have you kidnapped a man named Zhang Zhiqiang in this basement?"

Officer Wang started speaking with a humorous tone, but when he said the last "Zhang Zhiqiang", his tone suddenly became high-pitched.

That majestic aura instantly frightened Nie Jun and made him shrink back.

But Nie Jun quickly stabilized his position and quickly retorted:

"Comrade police, you are slandering me. You have no basis. Why do you say I kidnapped?"

"What's more, who are you talking about... Zhang Zhiqiang?"

After a short pause, Nie Jun organized his words again and continued to refute:
  "I don't even know this person named Zhang Zhiqiang."

"Nie Jun." Seeing that Nie Jun was turning up his volume at this moment, and seemed to be fighting to the death with everyone, Gu Chen appeared calm and calm, and said meaningfully:
  "The reason why we can find you here means that we have some reliable clues."

"If this matter has nothing to do with you directly, or if all this is your cousin's instruction, I hope you can take the initiative to confess."

"Otherwise, you are deeply involved in criminal activity."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "How to choose? Think about it carefully."
