I am a super cop

Chapter 2652 Former Residence
Gu Chen did feel a little guilty, blaming himself for not noticing the problem at the first moment.

But then again, who would have thought that when arresting a suspect, the other party would actually take poison.

Now, after rescue, Hu Yuedong is still unable to be saved.

This is undoubtedly a terrible thing for everyone.

"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Gu."

Seeing Gu Chen still standing there in a daze, Lu Weiwei at the side also reminded him.

"Ah?" Gu Chen turned his head and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

"It's time to go." Lu Weiwei reminded.

"Okay, okay." Gu Chen said okay twice, but his thoughts were still on the process of arresting Hu Yuedong.

……

……

Back at the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch, everyone sat in the office, reviewing their previous actions.

Officer Wang wrote down all the details of the arrest process on the whiteboard, turned to look at Gu Chen, and asked:
"Gu Chen, do you have anything else to add?"

"No." Gu Chen held his chin with one hand and said thoughtfully:

"When I was trying to arrest Hu Yuedong, he was running on the wall."

"I caught him right when he jumped off the wall. All my movements were smooth and I didn't give him any chance to resist."

"Then when did he take the poison? Could it be before we arrested him?" Lu Weiwei seemed to be thinking about it.

Yuan Shasha on the side reminded, "It depends on the test results of Gao Chuanfeng's team from the Municipal Bureau's Technical Department."

"Alas." Officer Wang sat back in his seat and sighed helplessly: "Actually, this Hu Yuedong is very important to us."

"With his death, Ah Zhong and his gang are in a mess again. And there's also Xu Tianxia who fell from the building. I feel like these people are worried about nothing."

Glancing at Gao Hu and He Qian, Officer Wang said, "Old Gao, Old He, what do you think?"

"Find Xu Yaxuan." Gao Hu said calmly.

He Qian on the side also quickly replied: "That's right, the only valuable clue now is to find Xu Yaxuan."

"Because we have seen too many conspiracies from Xu Yaxuan, as if all of this was caused by Xu Yaxuan."

"If we were to say who has the most secrets right now, it would definitely be Xu Yaxuan."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen turned his head and looked in the direction of He Junchao.

He Junchao knew what Gu Chen meant, so he quickly explained: "Look, I'm useless. I really can't find Xu Yaxuan now."

"I don't know what this girl is doing. She just disappeared for no reason, and she's deliberately hiding from us."

With a heavy sigh, He Junchao continued, "Also, I have been keeping an eye on her neighbor's sister who sells vegetables in Huya Village, but I haven't found any connection between them."

"Xu Yaxuan, ah Xu Yaxuan, this shaking of the head is really giving me a headache."

At the end of his speech, He Junchao also felt helpless.

"It's okay. If you can't find it, just keep looking. You will find it eventually." Gu Chen didn't want to put pressure on He Junchao, but finding Xu Yaxuan now was not such an easy task.

Everyone met in the office and discussed for a long time before everyone went their separate ways.

……

……

8 pm.

Gu Chen was lying on the bed in the police dormitory, also thinking about something.

My roommate Ding Liang also walked into the room carrying a big bag of snacks.

When I turned on the light, I found Gu Chen lying there. I was so scared that my body trembled and I complained:
"Oh my god, Gu Chen, are you in the dormitory?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen, who was lying on the bed meditating, responded out of habit.

"Then why didn't you turn on the light? You scared me." Ding Liang patted his chest and put the snacks on the desk.

"Why turn on the light when sleeping?" Gu Chen responded casually.

"Uh." Ding Liang was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be thinking: "Yes... yes, you don't need to turn on the lights when sleeping."

After he finished speaking, Ding Liang turned around and looked at Gu Chen again: "Eh? That's not right. Why did you go to bed so early today? Don't you usually go to bed quite late?"

"And it's okay to go to bed early, right?" Gu Chen replied indifferently.

"That's true, but you must be worried about something." Ding Liang thought for a moment and immediately concluded that Gu Chen must have been in trouble.

Gu Chen also sighed and said: "Let me put it this way, I feel that I have no clue about the case I am currently investigating."

As he spoke, Gu Chen also sat up straight.

"Uh." Ding Liang hesitated for a moment, then threw the bottle of drink in his hand to Gu Chen and said:

"Actually, if you, Gu Chen, don't have any clues, then this case is really difficult. Is it the case of the missing girl? The one who went missing from our police dormitory?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen unscrewed the bottle cap of the drink and gulped down a few sips before saying:

"You mean Xu Yaxuan? He's clearly living in our police dormitory and accepting our protection."

"But why did she leave so suddenly? And she chose to leave so late at night. What on earth did she want to do?"

"There must be something that is not completed." Ding Liang said.

"I know that she must have something wrong. I mean, why did she leave in the middle of the night without saying goodbye? And why hasn't she sent any news since then?"

"Uh……"

Feeling that he couldn't answer this question, Ding Liang quickly took out a bag of spicy strips from his snack bag and ate them, and said casually:
“Maybe he has some reservations.”

"I know she has a secret in her heart, but this secret may not be convenient to tell us, so she chooses to hide from us."

While Gu Chen was speaking, he placed the drink on the desk beside him and then lay back down on the bed.

Ding Liang hesitated for a moment, then asked Gu Chen: "Doesn't she have any friends in Jiangnan City?"

"A neighbor's sister and an ex-boyfriend, but according to our investigation, it seems that neither of them has anything to do with her disappearance," said Gu Chen.

"Then what exactly does she want?" Ding Liang asked again.

"Maybe she is carrying out a mission for her deceased father." Gu Chen also speculated.

But having said this, Gu Chen sat up from the bed again.

Ding Liang took a look and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

"Yes, the problem lies with his dead father. If that's the problem, then why don't I go to his father's residence to look for clues?"

"Her father died in Shonan City, so I will go to Shonan City to look for clues."

"Uh……"

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Ding Liang felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed: "Then you can go and try it."

"That's all." As soon as Ding Liang finished speaking, Gu Chen picked up his phone and started communicating with Officer Wang.

Soon, Gu Chen explained the details of the situation. Officer Wang on the other end of the phone was thoughtful: "Gu Chen, do you mean to go to Xiangnan City?"

"Yes, I plan to go there tomorrow." said Gu Chen.

"So urgent, what about the situation here..."

"Leave the situation here to you. Senior Sister Lu, Gao Hu or He Qian and I will go over there."

"One of them can choose to stay in our Jiangnan City, and you will cooperate with one of them to continue the investigation, while Senior Sister Lu and I will go to Xiangnan City with one of them." Gu Chen said.

"Well, okay." Seeing Gu Chen's firm attitude, Officer Wang thought about it and agreed:
"That's it, then. You and Lu Weiwei should prepare, and discuss it with Gao Hu and He Qian."

"I'll call them now." said Gu Chen.

"Okay." Officer Wang had no objection when he heard this.

Not long after, Gu Chen also finished communicating with Gao Hu and He Qian. After some discussion, the two decided to let He Qian stay in Jiangnan City to assist the team in continuing the investigation.

Gao Hu took Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to Xiangnan City to continue the investigation.

We chatted for a long time in the evening before hanging up the phone.

……

……

The next morning, before dawn, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had already packed their luggage and arrived at the parking lot of the Furong Branch.

Gao Hu arrived late.

At this moment, Officer Wang was also sitting in the driver's seat of the vehicle, reminding them, "Hurry up and get in the car. I'll take you to the high-speed rail station."

……

……

Jiangnan City is not too far from Shonan City.

Everyone arrived on time at 11:20 am.

At this moment, Gao Hu had already driven a police car to the station exit.

Gao Hu only communicated a few words on the phone, then asked Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to get in the car. After everyone put their luggage at the booked hotel, they immediately drove to Xu Tianxia's residence.

"Director Gu, are you sure you don't want to eat first? It's already dinner time."

Seeing that Gu Chen did not choose to eat first, but chose to handle the case first, Gao Hu also reminded him.

"Just buy some food on the roadside. It will take too much time to eat at noon. Wait, just park here." Gu Chen, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly reminded.

Gao Hu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, heard this and immediately told the police officer who was driving: "Xiao Liu, pull over."

"Oh." Xiao Liu, a third-level police inspector, obeyed and immediately pulled over.

After Gu Chen got off the car, he immediately rushed to the door of a store and started buying meat buns there.

Gao Hu, who saw this scene, turned his head to look at Lu Weiwei in the back row and asked, "Officer Lu, does your Director Gu usually work like this?"

"That's about right." Lu Weiwei nodded silently and agreed:
"My junior brother Gu is usually a workaholic, especially since there is not much progress in the current case, his workaholic attribute becomes even stronger."

"If he still has to spend a lot of time eating at this time, it is obviously not in line with his work habits."

"Haha, Director Gu really works so hard that he forgets to eat and sleep." The young policeman who was driving couldn't help but complain.

When I first heard that Gu Chen was the director of a branch, I was shocked. But when I saw Gu Chen's working habits, I felt that he was not jealous of the position of branch director at all.

While everyone was chatting, Gu Chen had already bought lunch and distributed the separately packaged lunch to everyone, saying:

"Everyone, just make do and eat something."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Director Gu." Seeing that Gu Chen had already bought lunch for everyone, Gao Hu gladly accepted it.

A few meat buns and a bottle of yogurt, this is everyone’s simple lunch.

Xiao Liu, who was driving, also took everyone to Xu Tianxia's residence.

After parking the car, the police officer quickly explained: "This place is Xu Tianxia's residence. After he died, this place has been blocked by our police."

"Where is the key?" Gao Hu asked, stretching out his hand.

"Oh." Without saying anything, the policeman immediately took out the key and handed it to Gao Hu, saying, "Here, this is the key to his house."

"Let's go and take a look together." Gao Hu took the key and pushed open the car door.

When the others saw this, they quickly got off the car as well.

The four of them walked into an old residential area together and then headed towards an old building.

As they walked up the stairs, Gu Chen asked curiously, "This Xu Tianxia must have made a lot of money over the years, right? But why does he still live in this old house?"

"Not sure." Gao Hu shook his head and said thoughtfully:
"Maybe he is more frugal? Or maybe he wants to save more money and buy a house in another city after his daughter finishes the college entrance examination?"

"After all, we don't have many high-tech industries in Xiangnan City. Most of them are traditional industries."

"Many people choose to develop in other places, which is normal. So, I guess Xu Tianxia wants to buy a house in another place."

"Well, maybe." After listening to Gao Hu's analysis, Gu Chen also felt that there was such a possibility.

We all came to the fourth floor, and the right side was blocked by some cordons.

Gao Hu removed the cordon at the door, took out his key and opened the door.

A pungent smell suddenly hit me in the face.

The young policeman immediately turned on the law enforcement recorder, and after everyone put on protective equipment, they walked into Xu Tianxia's home.

"This old house is where Xu Tianxia has lived since he got married."

"He grew up in the countryside, and later met his wife in Shonan City. The two pooled their money together to buy this old house, and have lived there ever since."

"During this period, his wife divorced him and no one knew where she went, so this house was usually occupied by Xu Tianxia and his daughter Xu Yaxuan."

At this point, Gao Hu immediately reminded, "Oh, to be precise, this house is usually occupied by his daughter. Xu Tianxia rarely goes home."

"His daughter Xu Yaxuan has also been living in the school dormitory. She rarely lives in this house and only comes back occasionally, so it has been empty and not cleaned."

On this side, Gao Hu kept explaining various things to Gu Chen, while on the other side, Gu Chen was also carefully checking every corner of the room.

Gu Chen first came to the small room, which was Xu Yaxuan’s room.

Leaving the police dormitory of Furong Branch without saying goodbye made Gu Chen even more curious about Xu Yaxuan.

I also want to know what kind of girl Xu Yaxuan is and why she would do such an incomprehensible thing.

"And how many secrets does she have? I believe that we can find many problems from Xu Yaxuan's room. This will help Gu Chen to understand Xu Yaxuan more comprehensively."
