I am a super cop

Chapter 2583 Hope and Disappointment

It seems that the clues provided by Village Chief Liu are too single and do not have much basis. Most of the time, they seem to have certain subjective opinions.

In addition, the uncle took the poison too suddenly and did not leave much time for everyone to react.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Gu Chen hoped that the uncle could survive and listen to him tell the real reason.

"Village Chief Liu, have you had frequent contact with anyone recently?" Gu Chen thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"Who do you have frequent contact with?" Village Chief Liu was stunned and said slowly:

"I didn't pay much attention to this, but didn't I say it before? He is in the village now and doesn't seem to have any friends."

"In fact, no one is willing to communicate with him. He is alone, and sometimes he can't think about it."

"When people reach this age, they will have many inexplicable thoughts. Old people are like this."

"So you think he must have committed suicide?" Lu Weiwei felt that Village Chief Liu seemed to have been giving everyone hints that the old man's sudden consumption of poison was obviously suicidal.

However, it is hard to think about the reason why the old man committed suicide because he was too lonely and had no friends and relatives by his side.

Lu Weiwei felt that it was still too far-fetched.

But Village Chief Liu smiled and said: "Comrade police, are you always so sensitive?"

"It's not that we are sensitive, it's that in your Colorful Village, the recent things that have happened are too weird."

Gu Chen didn't want to beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "The two people we are looking for got off the bus at the intersection of your colorful village, and there has been no news since."

"And these two people came to your Color Village within a few days."

"Then, when we came here today to investigate, the old man suddenly started talking nonsense and then committed suicide by taking poison."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued to ask Village Chief Liu: "So Village Chief Liu, don't you think there is a problem in your village?"

"What's the problem?" It felt like Gu Chen's question was very targeted, but Village Chief Liu spread his hands and said involuntarily:

"This is the fact. We have never seen those two people. You all said that they came to our village and got off the car at the intersection of our village."

"Okay, you have surveillance video evidence. I admit, maybe they have been here, but no one here has seen them, which means they have not entered the village."

"Furthermore, I heard that you are still investigating their going out to sea, but none of our ship owners here have provided ships for tourists to go out to sea. This means that they are just passing by here, but not staying here."

Finally, Village Chief Liu seemed to be a little emotional and continued to defend himself:

"Finally, I just want to say that the old man really has something wrong here."

While speaking, Village Chief Liu also pointed at his head with his finger, and then said:

"Once this person gets older, he will have a lot of random thoughts and can't think straight. It's normal. It just happened that you came to the village today for investigation and met him, but this doesn't mean anything."

After a pause, Village Chief Liu continued: "Also, I really don't know where those two people went?"

"People in our village have indeed never seen it. If they have seen it, I will definitely let them tell me as soon as possible."

"After all, our village is now considered a traffic village. Now it is slowly getting out of the circle. In the future, many tourists will come to our village."

"If you say that two people are missing here, won't it affect our tourism industry?"

"So fellow police comrades, sometimes please consider the actual situation in our village."

"Okay." Seeing Village Chief Liu speak so sincerely, Gu Chen didn't want to embarrass him, so he continued to explain:

"Village Chief Liu, I would like to know if you have any work related to the island guards here?"

"Uh……"

You seem to be aware of something? Gu Chen's question just now stunned several villagers present.

This unconscious micro-expression change was instantly noticed by Lu Weiwei and Officer Xiaozhuang.

So Officer Xiaozhuang quickly asked: "Do you have any island guardian jobs here?"

"This……"

"Say it." Seeing that Village Chief Liu was stuttering, Officer Xiaozhuang also hurriedly asked.

Village Chief Liu and several villagers around him looked at each other, seeming a little embarrassed.

Under the gaze of Village Chief Liu, one of the fat men slowly said:

"Before, there were people in our village who did the work of island guards."

"Your village? The island guard?"

Hearing such a reply, Lu Weiwei's eyes suddenly lit up, feeling that she had found a breakthrough.

So Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "How many people are there who work as island guards?"

"Just one." Another tall, thin, middle-aged man also held out a finger.

"One?" Lu Weiwei was stunned, but continued to ask: "Who is that from your village?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone seemed to have tacitly shut their mouths.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Lu Weiwei was a little anxious and said angrily: "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient for this person to talk or something?"

"Yes." Officer Xiaozhuang, who was standing aside and watching the awkward atmosphere, also urged:

"Village Chief Liu, who is that person in your village who has worked as an island guard? Isn't it convenient for him to come out and meet us?"

"This this……"

After hearing what Officer Xiaozhuang said, Village Chief Liu seemed even more embarrassed.

At this time, Officer Xiaozhuang was also anxious, and he said angrily: "Village Chief Liu, what are you doing? Why do you always hesitate when asking you questions? Just say what you have to say."

"No, no." After waving his hand, Village Chief Liu also had a distorted expression and responded with a serious face:

"There is only one person in our village who has worked as an island guard, and he is the old man who was just sent to the hospital."

"It's him?"

Hearing what Village Chief Liu said, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Xiaozhuang all said almost in unison.

"How could it be him?" Lu Weiwei took a step forward, also very shocked.

Officer Xiaozhuang also slapped his forehead with his right hand: "My dear, what are you doing? How could it be him?"

"You don't have to be so surprised." It felt like these policemen were shocked, and Village Chief Liu had no choice but to explain:

"That's the thing. As an old man, we used to be island guards. We just want to stay on the island all the time."

"Didn't his wife pass away before? Then his children have been staying out of town, and their relationship with him is very normal."

"Coupled with his own fiery temper, he doesn't get along with everyone in the village."

"So gradually, he began to become a little isolated, but he didn't want to continue this kind of life."

After a pause, Village Chief Liu continued to think about it: "But what happened later? He became the island guard. We in the village were quite puzzled at that time."

"Yes." As soon as Village Chief Liu finished speaking, the fat man beside him quickly answered:

"I heard that being an island guard is quite difficult. The supply ship only goes there once every two weeks, and it needs to be quite far from the coast."

"But the salary is high." Another tall and thin man said. So everyone started to discuss each other word by word.

When Gu Chen heard this, he also interrupted everyone's remarks and asked:

"Then do you know which company is doing the recruitment?"

"Which company? Which company is it?" Village Chief Liu looked dumbfounded and turned to ask the others.

Everyone also looked at each other, shaking their heads.

"Doesn't anyone know?" Officer Xiaozhuang also stepped forward and asked.

But everyone still shook their heads in denial.

When Village Chief Liu saw this, he quickly replied: "No one asked much about it at the time. Anyway, we also heard some information. Maybe companies in Haidong City are recruiting island defenders, right?"

"After all, I heard that there are still some equipment on the island that need maintenance, but what exactly? I'm not sure."

"But you can also go to the old man's house to look for clues. Maybe you can find some kind of employment contract or something like that?"

"Eh? That's a good idea." After hearing what Village Chief Liu said, Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up and she quickly discussed with Gu Chen:

"Junior Brother Gu, I think what Village Chief Liu said makes sense. We can search the old man's house to see if there is any employment contract?"

Gu Chen didn't say anything, but looked at Officer Xiaozhuang beside him.

After all, this is Haidong City, and it is their territory, so we need to ask for their opinions.

Upon seeing this, Officer Xiaozhuang immediately agreed: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go in and search first."

Everyone quickly reached a consensus.

Therefore, Gu Chen and others asked Village Chief Liu to lead the villagers to stay outside to maintain order on the scene and prevent irrelevant personnel from entering and exiting at will.

Village Chief Liu and others were not allowed to enter the house at will until police support arrived.

Officer Xiaozhuang took Gu Chen and others to the bedroom where the uncle took the poison.

When Officer Xiaozhuang turned on the law enforcement recorder, the search officially began.

As usual, Gu Chen put on his white gloves and opened the uncle's bedside table first.

However, there seemed to be some simple living tools inside.

Such as flashlights and some simple medicines.

Afterwards, everyone opened the drawer under the bedside table, but there were only basic bank books and some sundries. It seemed that the old man did not put any valuable items in this place.

So everyone continued to search the room, but nothing was found.

After finishing the carpet-like search of the old man's bedroom, everyone came to the living room.

Officer Xiaozhuang also continued: "Since it's not in this bedroom, it should be in another room. Why don't you look for it again?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and then everyone checked other rooms in the house.

All rooms have keys in the door locks, making it easy to enter the room.

But because the uncle has lived alone in his house for a long time, the house looks relatively empty and there are not many furnishings.

When the police backup called by Officer Xiaozhuang arrived at the scene, Gu Chen and others had already conducted a comprehensive search of the old man's house, but found nothing.

When he arrived at the door, Officer Xiaozhuang also looked puzzled and couldn't help but said: "What's going on with this old man? He once worked as an island guard, but he didn't even have anything related to work at home. How did he do it?" of?"

While he was talking, Officer Xiaozhuang saw his colleagues at the door coming to support him and started to pull out a cordon at the door.

Village Chief Liu and others stood aside and offered smoke to the police who came to support them, but they were all rejected.

"Xiao Zhuang." A second-level police inspector walked up to the crowd first.

"Old Zhao, you came at the right time. The situation here is a bit complicated." Upon seeing this, Officer Xiaozhuang quickly introduced the specific situation briefly.

After listening, Comrade Lao Zhao nodded silently, and then looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

At this time, Officer Xiaozhuang realized that he had not introduced him to everyone yet.

So he hurriedly came to the crowd and pushed Gu Chen forward: "I forgot to introduce you to everyone, this is Gu Chen, the deputy director of Furong Branch of Jiangnan City Public Security Bureau."

"Hello, I'm Gu Chen." Hearing this, Gu Chen also greeted everyone.

"Hello, please call me Lao Zhao." Comrade Lao Zhao seemed to be very easy-going.

"This is Lu Weiwei, the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team of Furong Branch." Then, Officer Xiaozhuang continued to introduce.

"Hello, I am Lu Weiwei."

"Hello Captain Lu."

Everyone also introduced each other in turn.

Since this house has been inspected by Gu Chen before, it has little search value.

All we need to do is let Lao Zhao’s team take over and handle the follow-up.

Thinking of Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, who were still accompanying the elderly man who had taken the drug in the hospital, Gu Chen wanted to know the situation as soon as possible, so he took the initiative to walk to an open space outside the crowd, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Officer Wang's phone number.

Not long after, the call was connected, and Gu Chen quickly asked: "Senior Brother Wang, how is the situation over there?"

"The situation is not very good." Officer Wang on the phone sighed heavily and said involuntarily:

"This old man drank a little too much pesticide, but you don't have to worry. Since we brought the bottle of pesticide with us, the hospital also knows what it is."

"We are still rescuing the elderly. There must be a way to help the elderly survive the crisis."

"Okay." After hearing this explanation, Gu Chen felt that, at least, this old man's life would not be in great danger for a while.

So he introduced the specific situation on his side to Officer Wang: "I have communicated with these people in the village. There is a person in their colorful village who has worked as an island guard."

"What are you talking about? Someone in the village has worked as an island guard? Then maybe Gu Jun and Zhang Li came here to find this person?" Officer Wang couldn't help but say something when he heard this.

Gu Chen said slowly: "Yes, I think so too."

"Who is this island guard? Have you found him?" Officer Wang on the phone quickly asked again.

"We've found it," Gu Chen said.

"That's good, that's good." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked again:

"Then who is this person?"

"This is the old man you sent to the hospital." Gu Chen said helplessly.
