I am a super cop

Chapter 2540 Old Watch

The incidents of falling off bridges occurred one after another, and Gu Chen suddenly realized that this might be a provocation.

But Gu Chen still couldn't figure out what good would this do to that person?

In other words, what can it bring to that person?

At present, Gu Chen is more inclined to believe that the person behind the scenes is Liao Anna.

After all, Hu Liang and Fu Jiajun both have unclear relationships with Liao Anna.

In addition, Fu Jiajun actually did not leave Jiangnan City to visit, so this may hide another unknown secret.

Of course, Gu Chen still doesn't know how deep the water is here, but judging from the clues provided by He Junchao, Fu Jiajun's last disappearance was in a small alley near Jianshe South Road.

So Gu Chen felt that Fu Jiajun might be related to this alley.

"The body has been examined." Officer Wang sighed and came over to report to Gu Chen:

"This Fu Jiajun died in exactly the same way as the previous Hu Liang."

"Both of them are almost following the same path, so I don't know how much inside information is involved."

"Leave it to Gao Chuanfeng from the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau. He will take care of this." Gu Chen said.

"What about the corpse, are you waiting for Gao Chuanfeng to come over for now?" Ding Liang came over and asked.

Gu Chen glanced in the direction of the corpse and nodded silently: "Okay."

After handling the matters here, Gu Chen looked at the time and saw that it was not too late, so Gu Chen reminded Ding Liang:

"Ding Liang, you and Huang Zunlong stay here and wait for Gao Chuanfeng from the City Bureau's Technical Section. I have to immediately find the place where the deceased was last seen to see if there are any reliable clues there."

"Then go ahead and leave this place to us." Ding Liang also said quickly.

After a brief exchange, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to Jianshe South Road.

Jianshe South Road is actually an old commercial street.

But now many business sectors are constantly migrating.

Therefore, this kind of old commercial street has gradually faded out of people's business with the gradual passage of population.

Those who are still doing business here are actually some old merchants, doing neighborhood business.

And most of the people who open stores here are elderly people.

The street vendors also sell cheap goods.

Gu Chen parked the vehicle in a parking space, got out of the car, and quickly started searching on Jianshe South Road.

Since there are many alleys here, Gu Chen also needs to find the location by himself.

But the streets here are not too long. Not long after, Gu Chen discovered the stall of the old clock shop master He Junchao mentioned.

A small, narrow shop is filled with a variety of old accessories and clocks.

"It should be here." Gu Chen also quickened his pace and walked to the intersection.

At this moment, the old master was wearing a magnifying glass on his right eye, and he was repairing an old watch with several tools in his hand.

"Does this watch still need repairing? It's such an old antique." Yuan Shasha said casually when she saw such an old object.

The old man raised his head and glanced at everyone, and his eyes returned to the old watch in his hand.

But he muttered: "Little girl, for you young people, if these things are broken, they are broken, just throw them away."

"But you know what? Every old object here has a story."

"So... story?" Yuan Shasha was a little confused and asked politely: "Master, can you explain it to me?"

"Harm!" After installing a small screw in his hand, the old master also said with great interest:

"For example, the watch I am repairing now belongs to our neighbor Liu."

"This watch was given to him by his old father. It was considered high-end at the time and he even regarded it as a family heirloom."

"But, watches were quite fashionable before, but they will never go out of style."

"But now it seems that nothing is timeless or permanent."

"Uh, uncle, so, what is the meaning of this watch?" Yuan Shasha still didn't quite understand.

So the old master continued to explain: "Actually, this watch later witnessed the rise and fall of Lao Liu's family."

"Ten or twenty years earlier, right? Old Liu went into business and made a lot of money, and his business grew bigger and bigger."

"But he still wears this watch, and his business is getting smoother and smoother."

"Anyway, I couldn't explain all the details, but one day, he went to meet a very important client and accidentally broke his watch."

"But at that time, Lao Liu was just suffering from horse hoof disease. It was just an old watch. With his financial resources, he could just buy a new one."

"So Lao Liu just threw his old watch at home and went back to buy a new watch."

With a heavy sigh, the old master couldn't help but sigh: "Later, things started to become more interesting."

"Lao Liu's business is getting worse and worse. Not only did that important client not cooperate with him, he turned around and cooperated with his opponent."

"Anyway, later on, Lao Liu was in trouble and suffered from various difficulties."

"He went to the temple to worship Buddha and asked the master there, and he learned some things."

"I feel like my fortune started when I took off that watch. You know, that watch has been passed down to the Liu family for several generations."

"Lao Liu later came to his senses and felt that his business was doing well, which was a dividend of the development of the times. It had nothing to do with whether he was good or not."

"But later on, Lao Liu began to forget his original intention, began to get rid of the old watch, and refused to repair it if it was broken. Eventually, he began to become narrow-minded."

"That's why Lao Liu came to you for repair with this old watch, right?" Lu Weiwei answered.

The old master nodded silently: "Yes, if something is broken, it always needs to be repaired. Otherwise, that thing can only be regarded as a pile of waste, but if the waste is repaired, it can still be used."

"Okay, uncle, what you said is quite philosophical, but we want to ask you about someone right now."

Seeing that Lu Weiwei had a gentle attitude and was nice to talk to, the old master asked out of curiosity: "Who are you trying to find out?"

"I have lived here for decades, and I even know the names of the dogs here? So, you can tell me, as long as they are residents here, I know them."

"Are you so good?" Seeing myself praising the old man a few times, why are you getting ahead of yourself?

Lu Weiwei also suppressed her laughter and quickly told Fu Jiajun's photo in front of the uncle:

"Uncle, do you know this person?" "This person..." As if he saw a familiar face, the old man's face suddenly became a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? Have you seen it?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"He is a customer of mine. He had a watch he left here for repair before." The old man finally recognized the person.

Obviously, he knew Fu Jiajun, and the other party seemed to be his client.

So Officer Wang quickly asked, "Has this guy been to your place often these days?"

"That's not true." Faced with Officer Wang's inquiry, the old man waved his hand and continued to explain:

"I have only seen him twice recently, once when he brought his watch for repair, and the other time when he came over to ask if his watch had been repaired."

"Just these two times?" Officer Wang was stunned and asked curiously: "Then the second time, did you repair the watch? Or not?"

"Is it so fast?" I felt that Officer Wang didn't know how to repair watches, so the old man continued to explain:

"Repairing a watch is a technical job, but that doesn't mean you can just repair it casually."

"That will definitely take a lot of time, so the second time, I told him that it would take a few days."

"So he really only communicated these issues with you when he came that day?" Gu Chen felt that things were not that simple.

After all, Fu Jiajun has not been on a business trip these days. In fact, he has been hiding in Jiangnan City.

But now, Fu Jiajun came here specifically for a watch when he was supposed to be on a business trip. This is hard not to make people suspicious.

The old master looked at the curious eyes of everyone and said with a smile: "What? You don't believe it?"

"No, no, we believe it, but we don't believe it either." Gu Chen's words instantly made the master watchmaker confused.

The old master also said thoughtfully: "Young man, what do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that Fu Jiajun fell off the bridge and died tonight." Gu Chen did not want to beat around the bush and explained straightforwardly.

At this moment, the old master's expression was stunned, and he felt that he was stunned on the spot, and he didn't react for a long time.

"Master, are you okay?" Seeing the master stunned, Lu Weiwei waved her palm in front of him a few times.

The old master who reacted was stunned and said: "That means that the customer is dead? Then who will pay my repair fee? He hasn't given me the money yet."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned on the spot.

At first, everyone thought that the master would be shocked and feel that life is impermanent. After all, older people like all kinds of emotions.

But what everyone never expected was that all the master cared about at this moment was money, which shocked everyone.

"Old... master, don't you want to know about Fu Jiajun?" Yuan Shasha also felt embarrassed for the master.

But the old master seemed to be in a completely different thinking dimension from everyone else, and continued to explain:

"Our small business is very time-consuming. I have worked hard for so long, and then you tell me that he is dead. Then who should I give my money to? Who should I give the watch I repaired?"

"Show us." Seeing that the old master kept mentioning his watch, Gu Chen also asked quickly.

"What do you want this for? What are you doing?" The old master looked at the group of people in front of him and seemed to be different from ordinary people.

Especially the way he spoke, and in addition, these people all knew that the client fell off the bridge and died.

I thought that these people must have a lot of background.

Seeing the old master asking about everyone's identity, Lu Weiwei explained to the old man and gave a general summary of everyone's professional status.

The old man who repaired the watch didn't pay attention to the work in hand at the moment. He just listened to everyone's explanations, but in the end he looked frustrated:

"It seems that this guy is unlucky."

"Not necessarily." Gu Chen retorted directly: "Because before him, someone also fell on the bridge and died in the same way as him."

"So, we suspect that this may involve some problems. In addition, we found that Fu Jiajun, the last time he appeared in the surveillance footage, was on Jianshe South Road here."

"Besides, the alley he walked into is right next door to where you repair the clock."

"You mean, that customer walked into the alley next to me? Then, he disappeared? Is that understandable?" The old man seemed to be thinking about the problem at this moment.

Gu Chen took a step forward and nodded silently: "So, you have been in contact with him twice, so you should know his situation best."

"Also, since he last appeared near your watch shop, he must be going somewhere nearby."

"But the strange thing is that since then, the surveillance has not captured the figure of Fu Jiajun."

"Furthermore, we suspect that there is something else going on in this alley. Didn't you say that you have lived here for decades and you can name the dogs here?"

"Then can you help us find out what Fu Jiajun is going to do?"

"This one……"

"Please help us analyze it." Officer Wang also seemed very polite when he spoke.

The old man was a little unbearable, so he thought about it and said, "I remember, the last time he came to my watch shop that day was to ask me if the watch had been repaired?"

"I said no, and then he left on his own."

Glancing at the alley beside him, the old man continued to explain: "Of course, he seems to be going to this place. As for what he is going to do? I don't know. After all, I don't investigate his whereabouts."

"But we need your cooperation in the investigation now." Gu Chen didn't talk too much and explained the serious relationship between this to the uncle.

The old man was really panicked at this moment. He felt like he was involved in such a thing for no reason, and his mood suddenly rose and fell.

"Uncle, uncle?" Seeing the old man who repaired the watch looking stunned for a moment, Lu Weiwei quickly reminded him.

"Ah?" The master, who was slow to react, only just recovered from his confusion and asked quickly: "What did you just say?"

"Can you show us the watch that Fu Jiajun left here for repair?"

"Oh, okay, I'll get it right away. Please wait for me for a moment." Taking a deep breath, the old man realized that he had to hand the things over to the police immediately.

Not long after, I found the old man taking out a watch from the back room.

The watch seems to have been in good condition for a long time, and it doesn't look like a style worn by young people.
