I am a super cop

Chapter 2608 Bait

As if he had hit the point, the man in black was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said:

"Yes, I came to see you today. I really have something I want to talk to you about."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently and said, "But I have a few questions that I must ask you first."

"Are you bargaining with me?" the man in black said.

"This is an exchange of equal value." Gu Chen explained.

The man in black hesitated for a moment and then compromised: "Okay, since you have the guts to come here alone to meet me tonight, I promise you, just ask."

"Did you put that envelope in Zhang Li's hand?" Gu Chen blurted out after hearing this.

The man in black thought for a few seconds and then said slowly: "You mean the female college student, right? Yes, I put the envelope in her bag."

"Then why did you ask him to go to Color Village to find the old man who was the island guard? You wanted to go to the old man but didn't dare, so you asked Zhang Li to do it for you, right?" Gu Chen asked again.

"That's right." The man in black seemed to have no hesitation and responded readily:

"That old man, I originally wanted to go find him, but I couldn't."

"Why?" Gu Chen asked.

"Because once Shuke and the others know my whereabouts, they will kill me?"

"Do you hold their secrets?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

"You can understand it that way." The man in black spread his hands and said involuntarily:

"Shuke and I were originally in the same group. I was responsible for the accounting affairs of their group and learned a lot about their transaction records."

"But because I have been with Shuke for many years, everyone trusts each other."

Taking a deep breath, the man in black continued to explain: "But this is all my wishful thinking. He doesn't believe in people who are not of family blood."

"At first, for the sake of my own business, I was considered one of my own, and I foolishly worked for others, but what did I get in the end?"

"He wants to kill you?" Gu Chen said.

"Yes, he wants to kill me because I know too much about the Shuke Group."

"Shuke is always worried that one day I will lose my willpower and call the police because I have too many secrets."

"Once I am caught by the police, it will be the destruction of Shuke's entire criminal network."

Having said this, the man in black took a deep breath and continued:

"So, after Shuke changed hands on the island's wind power generation business, he began to solve his own troubles."

"And as far as he was concerned, I was a big problem and he needed to shut me up forever."

"But you noticed something strange later, right?" From the man in black, Gu Chen also heard what the problem was.

The man in black nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, one day I overheard Shuke conspiring with a few of his men to secretly get rid of some people, including me."

"I was completely confused at the time. I felt that even if Shuke wanted to get rid of the trouble, that person should not be me."

"But I thought wrong. He didn't want me to live at all. At that time, everyone was on the island."

"And that time, Shuke asked me to go there with the account books, just because he wanted to clear up the accounts between him and the overseas criminal gangs, and then silence him."

"I knew that I might not survive that time, but I was not a vegetarian. In desperation, I could only place my hope on the old man who guarded the island."

"Aren't they in the same group?" Gu Chen asked.

The man in black took a deep breath and continued: "Although we are in the same group, such people may be eliminated at any time."

"Moreover, he was forced to join this organization, and he was quite reluctant in his heart."

"The situation was urgent, and I knew that if I wanted to survive, I had to be valuable, and I had to be valuable to them."

"I thought about it and finally discovered that my value lies in those account books. If the account books suddenly disappear, they can't do anything to me."

"So you found the old man who was guarding the island, gave him the account book for safekeeping, and asked him to hide it for you?" Gu Chen said.

The man in black nodded silently: "In that case, I can only trust this old man."

"Because there were people from Shuke outside, we were in the room and had no other choice. I found the old man and talked to him in a lot of earnest words."

"Tell him that if he wants to survive, these ledgers must be hidden."

"And I believe he has a way around this place."

Taking a deep breath, the man in black also said slowly:

"Sure enough, my bet was right. The old man is really powerful. He has lived on the island for a long time and knows where to hide the ledgers in the room."

"In the end, he cleverly helped me hide the account book in a secret passage."

"When Shuke finished handling his own affairs and sent away those overseas criminals, he took the initiative to find me and said he wanted to see the account books. I told him that I didn't bring the account books here at all this time."

"How did you do it?" Seeing the man in black say this, Gu Chen was also very curious.

The man in black explained slowly: "It's very simple. I opened the backpack I carried with me and told him that I forgot to bring the account book with me today. I can only give it to him after I return to land."

"Is your explanation too childish? Do you think Shuke will believe it?" Gu Chen felt that with Shuke's IQ, he would definitely not believe this.

But at this moment, the man in black laughed out loud and said: "Yes, you are absolutely right. Shuke is a cunning man. Of course he will not believe everything I say."

But the key is that I didn’t have any account books at that time, and those things were very important to him.

He seemed to notice something strange about me, so he asked me what exactly I heard.

"When I saw what he said, I decided to have a showdown with him. I told him that I didn't believe you for a long time. After the business here is over, you will definitely get rid of some people, and among those people, I will definitely be included."

"He told me that we were all our own people and that he would not hurt me."

Having said this, the man in black also chuckled and continued:

"I said that I have been with you for such a long time. I know you too well and you are cruel and ruthless. Unless it is someone who is related to you by blood, you will not believe it at all."

"I told him I just wanted to live and I wouldn't tell anything about him, but if he wanted to kill me, as long as I didn't return to land."

"Then the next day, Haidong City Police Station will receive all your criminal ledgers."

"You're quite smart." Seeing what the man in black said, Gu Chen also said in admiration.

But the man in black smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "If you are in that situation, your instinct will make you do this."

"I just want to live. I just regret joining them. They are a bunch of ruthless desperadoes."

"However, the old man who guarded the island helped me hide the account books, and Shuke couldn't do anything to me." "So, that night, they tied me to a wooden stake, punched and kicked me in various ways, and searched through all the books. The ledgers were nowhere to be found in the whole house.”

"Shuke really realized that it seems that I can't die yet. He knows that I have a plan for him to guard against him."

Taking a deep breath, the man in black continued: "So, in order to protect himself, he began to persuade me again and agreed to let me go back to land."

"In this way, I returned to land exhausted, but I knew that he would send people to follow me all the time, but I am not a vegetarian."

"After all, I have followed Shuke for many years. For me, anti-stalking is very easy to do."

"So, I finally managed to get rid of those 'tails', and then hid to avoid the limelight. Since then, Shuke has been looking for me, but he can't find me."

"In other words, he doesn't want to push me too hard, because he doesn't know if those things are really on my body?"

"This uncertainty makes him suspicious, but it also happens to keep my life safe."

"But it's not an option to keep doing this." Gu Chen said.

The man in black nodded silently: "Yes, continuing like this is indeed not an option, so I have to think of other ways."

"But the only thing that makes me feel at ease is that if those ledgers are returned to my hands, then I will have enough confidence to bring down Shuke so that I can continue to live."

"I understand." After listening to the explanation of the man in black, Gu Chen also said slowly:

"So you must find the old man who guards the island, and you must have gone to the island to look for those account books, right? But you definitely didn't find them."

"That's right." Seeing that Gu Chen was right as he said it, the man in black stopped pretending and confessed directly:

"I know that the account book was taken away by the old man who guarded the island, and he must have hidden it in a secret place."

"But as far as I know, he later became ill and had some brain problems, and he was always delirious."

"I was afraid that he would accidentally tell the truth about those account books, so I kept trying to get close to him, but finally gave up."

"Why? It's because there are always Shuke's people around the old man who guards the island, right?" Gu Chen also guessed that the man in black was afraid of the people lurking around the old man who guarded the island.

The man in black also said without hesitation: "Yes, with Shuke's character, he will definitely kill the old man, but he should also be able to guess that the old man should have helped me that night."

"Why didn't Shuke kill the old man? Because he was not sure whether the thing was really in the old man's hands? If it was, then he didn't know where it was hidden?"

"It just so happens that this old man is ill and is not clear-headed. Shuke guessed that maybe I will try my best to find the old man and get the account book back."

"That's why he deliberately didn't kill the old man who was guarding the island, because he wanted me to fall into a trap."

Having said this, the man in black seemed to have let go of the stone that had been weighing on his heart for many years, so he said slowly:

"I know that I have done a lot of bad things following Shu Ke over the years, but I don't want to just keep hiding."

"If Shuke is not eliminated for one day, he will keep chasing me. Instead of sitting back and waiting to be killed, it is better to take the initiative."

With a faint sigh and trying to calm down, the man in black said slowly:

"So, I have to find the old man and retrieve those account books."

"Only by surrendering with the account book can I get a reduced sentence, and I have no choice."

"So I found a female student and wanted her to go see the old man who was guarding the island for me, so I secretly hid a letter in her backpack."

"As long as she looks for it according to the contents of the letter, he can find the iron box, which is the execution reward I gave her."

"Only when she tastes the sweetness will she continue to do things for me, even if she has never met her before, it doesn't matter."

"Why did you think of finding Zhang Li?" Gu Chen was also very puzzled. It was really unreasonable to say that among so many people, only Zhang Li was found.

The only possible explanation is that the man in black knew Zhang Li before.

Faced with Gu Chen's questioning, the man in black did not hide it at this moment and said straightforwardly:

"When I worked for Shuke before, my income was quite considerable, and I lived quite comfortably in Haidong City."

"So, I would go to various places for entertainment. One of them was when I was playing a scripted killer game, and I met Zhang Li."

"I found that Zhang Li is very obsessed with clearing the game. She can't help but pass various given conditions and crack the next task."

"That's why I took a fancy to her, so I marked the location where the iron box was buried using a strange letter."

"After Zhang Li receives the letter, she will definitely complete the task out of curiosity and receive rewards in the process of completion."

"In this way, she can smoothly follow my instructions and find the old man who guards the island."

"So that's it?" After listening to the man in black's explanation, Gu Chen finally understood why Zhang Li was so obsessed with doing something that seemed unbelievable to ordinary people.

Because there were mission rewards, Zhang Li found a long-lost sense of familiarity in doing missions.

It was precisely because of this that the man in black wanted Zhang Li to see the island guard and then bring the account book back.

But he still underestimated Shu Ke's precautions, that is, Village Chief Liu who was placed in Color Village.

This guy is Shuke's eyes, always observing strangers who come into contact with the old man who guards the island.

This is why Zhang Li and Gu Jun were kidnapped by Village Chief Liu one after another.

Fortunately, this village chief Liu still has some humanity and does not dare to murder other people's lives.

After all, if he was caught, he would not be able to bear the crime.

Therefore, Zhang Li and Gu Jun actually saved their lives.

"Then why did you think of coming to me?" Gu Chen also asked casually.

At this moment, the man in black was also standing in the weeds, deep in thought, and seemed to be thinking about his actions.

After a few seconds, he slowly raised his head and explained: "I found that you are very capable, so I went to inquire about you."

"I hope you can protect me and give me a chance to redeem myself."

"What do you mean..." Gu Chen clearly heard that the man in black meant something.

At this moment, the man in black seemed to be no longer pretending, and said straightforwardly:

"The reason is simple. I want to use myself as bait to catch the big fish Shuke, but the prerequisite is that you, the police, must give me enough safety."
