I am a super cop

Chapter 2695 Online Taxi Driver

As soon as we arrived at the unfinished building, we discovered that the car was missing.

There is only one unfinished residential area around here, so the vehicle is most likely parked nearby.

But at this time, Yuan Shasha quickly found the traces and pointed to a location in the woods and said:

"Look, that car is parked over there."

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately trotted over and soon arrived in front of the vehicle.

The vehicle looked very old, like a fourth-hand car.

But there was no one around the vehicle, so everyone started searching further away.

"It seems that the man in purple is not in the car, so he should be in the unfinished building." Gu Chen walked to a guardrail outside the unfinished building to observe.

Because this place has been abandoned for a long time, the iron guardrails are already rusted.

The guardrails are surrounded by vines.

On the outskirts is a forest with tall and dense trees, which makes the area look a bit eerie and scary.

Lu Weiwei also walked up to Gu Chen and expressed her opinion: "It's so hot, and there is no vegetation in the unfinished building community."

“I guess the man in purple wanted to park his vehicle in this shady place.”

"But this place has no water or electricity. What is he doing here?" Officer Wang was also curious. He always felt that this place was a little mysterious.

Yuan Shasha said: "Why don't we go in and take a look?"

"Let's go." Gu Chen also nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, everyone began searching to the left and right based on where the vehicle was parked.

But according to the principle that the gate is usually on the road, everyone first looked to the left, and sure enough, they found the location of the gate.

The gate faces the roadside, but it is blocked by all kinds of debris, as if the construction team intentionally closed this location.

"It's not here. The exit should be somewhere else. Let's look for it." Lu Weiwei also reminded.

Soon, everyone forgot to look for the right side and went around the rusty iron guardrail to the back of the unfinished community.

There is a small river here that has not been developed and is in its original state.

It is estimated that after the project is completed, the banks of the river will be slightly renovated and it will become a leisure park.

But now, the back of the community, close to the river, is also overgrown with weeds.

However, everyone soon discovered that there were obvious signs of someone leaving in the middle of the weeds.

Everyone looked at each other and the atmosphere began to become tense.

Since no one knows the background of the man in purple, it is also unclear whether Wen Jun was kidnapped by him.

So in order to ensure Wen Jun's safety, everyone did not alert the enemy and chose to approach the target cautiously.

So everyone started walking inside along the path that had been created by humans.

Soon, everyone discovered that there was a break in the guardrail of the wall, revealing a huge hole.

As long as people lower their heads, they can pass through here.

Gu Chen and the others looked at each other, and Gu Chen reminded them, "Senior Brother Wang and I will go in first. Senior Sister Lu, you and Xiao Yuan stay here and observe the surrounding situation closely."

"Understood." Seeing that Gu Chen was about to go over to investigate, Lu Weiwei also reminded him, "Junior Brother Gu, be careful."

"Yeah." Gu Chen agreed, and then he and Officer Wang began to drill into the cave.

Arriving at the unfinished residential complex, Gu Chen and Officer Wang immediately lowered their postures and half-squatted.

Because there are weeds everywhere here, they can provide good cover for the two of them.

"This place looks dilapidated and there is deathly silence everywhere." Officer Wang looked around and finally turned his gaze to Gu Chen.

"Go this way." Gu Chen reminded Officer Wang after observing.

Officer Wang immediately followed behind Gu Chen, and the two of them began to advance into the community, one in front and one behind.

Soon, Gu Chen came to the side of the first unfinished villa and began to observe the surrounding details.

The weedy passage created by humans has left a deep mark.

Therefore, based on these traces, Gu Chen quickly discovered that the footprints extended to a building in front.

"The person should be in that villa." Gu Chen reminded Officer Wang behind him.

"I understand." Officer Wang actually also saw the trace, which was a very obvious mark.

Thanks to the weeds here, people will leave deep marks when they walk on it.

Gu Chen squatted down and observed the footprints. He frowned slightly and said curiously:

"From the footprints, it seems that only one person has been here. There are no other types of footprints."

"One person?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang frowned and reminded him, "One person's footprints don't mean there's only one person in the house. Let's go over and take a look first."

Since both of them were sure that there was only one person here, everyone felt that two people could handle it.

It was with this confidence that the two began to approach the building cautiously.

There is an unfinished villa in front of me, and there is a lot of garbage around the gate.

But they were all thrown into a pile of bricks.

What surprised Gu Chen and Officer Wang was that the trash cans here were actually made of bricks scattered on the ground.

In fact, it is just scattered bricks stacked into a trash can.

There is indeed a lot of household waste in the trash can.

"It seems that there have always been people living here." Gu Chen also muttered softly.

Officer Wang said unhappily, "If they can live without water and electricity, then the people living here must have committed a crime and are afraid to live in a residential area. Are they trying to avoid something?"

Looking around, Officer Wang asked again, "How can someone who lives here be a good person?"

"Let's go in and take a look." Gu Chen reminded.

So the two of them worked together very well and formed a search team.

Gu Chen was in front and Officer Wang was at the rear. The two of them covered each other and started walking towards the unfinished villa.

It can be said that everything here is normal and quiet.

The first floor was in a mess, and there seemed to be no signs of human activity, so Gu Chen quickly set his sights on the second floor.

When the two went up to the second floor, they found a suggested bed in a room.

The man in purple clothes was lying there and sleeping soundly. Since there were no windows around and there was a forest nearby, the cool breeze came through the windows and penetrated the whole room, making it very cool.

The man in purple also made a simple mosquito net support for the bed he built with bricks and wooden boards.

"Shh!" Gu Chen made a sign language gesture to silence Officer Wang, and then signaled Officer Wang to check the periphery first.

So the two men temporarily gave up on waking the man up and continued searching other rooms.

But after the two checked all the rooms, they did not find any other people, so they returned to the room they had just been in and came to the man in purple.

"It seems he is the only one here." Officer Wang sighed, feeling that he had come up empty-handed and did not find Wen Jun.

  Afterwards, Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement recorder directly at the man in front of him, and then patted the man's shoulder to wake him up:

"Wake up, wake up."

"Hmm?" The man seemed very tired, with blurry eyes, and glanced at Gu Chen in front of him.

At first the man seemed to be still half awake, but when he saw Gu Chen, his eyes closed again.

But suddenly he realized something was wrong and suddenly opened his eyes.

But this time, what he saw was Gu Chen and Officer Wang staring at him.

"Ah? You... who are you?" The man was also startled by the sudden visit of Gu Chen and Officer Wang. He sat up in fear and shrank his body backwards.

"We are from the Public Security Bureau. Why are you living here alone?" Officer Wang said impatiently.

"I...I have always lived here." The man in purple stuttered in response to Officer Wang's question.

"Have you always lived here?" Officer Wang frowned and said unhappily:

"This place has been unfinished for years. You said you've always lived here?"

"Besides, there is no water or electricity here. What are you doing here? Where is your home? Why do you live in an unfinished building?"

"I...I...I'm from another place." Faced with Officer Wang's questioning, the man seemed a little nervous and spoke hesitantly.

"Out of town?" Officer Wang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Show me your ID card."

"Oh." The man didn't dare to refuse at this moment. He quickly took out his ID card from a bag at the bedside, handed it to Officer Wang and said, "Here you go."

Officer Wang took a quick look and found that the man was from Northeast China and his name was Ren Xi.

  Officer Wang entered Ren Xi's ID card into the system and did not find any criminal record for Ren Xi. He returned the ID card to Ren Xi and asked him:

"You haven't answered me yet. What are you doing here? Why do you live here?"

"Oh, I'm working in Jiangnan City. I lost all my money gambling and have no money to rent a house, so I live here."

"How do you live without water and electricity?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter." Ren Xi pointed to the river behind him and said:

"If there's no water, I can go to the river to get some. If there's no electricity, I have a power bank. If that doesn't work, I can go to a restaurant in the city and sit there to charge my phone."

After a pause, Ren Xi continued: "I don't use my phone that often anyway, so I can survive without power."

"What's the difference between you and a homeless person? You live in a place like this for no reason." Officer Wang got angry when he heard Ren Xi's words.

But Ren Xi grinned and quickly explained: "Isn't this just my bad luck?"

"When I was working, I made some money and had some savings. I felt like playing cards with my colleagues on the construction site, and ended up losing all my money."

At this point, Ren Xi also sighed and continued, "So I had no choice but to move out of the house I rented out before and come to this place."

Looking up and around, Ren Xi continued to explain: "I think this place is pretty good. No one will disturb us. It's much better than sleeping under a bridge."

"Then why don't you go and make some money?" Officer Wang looked Ren Xi up and down and found that although Ren Xi was now living a homeless life, he was still well dressed, at least very neat.

Ren Xi also smiled and said, "Making money? Of course, I'm driving an online taxi now. I borrowed the car from someone else before, and it's parked in the woods outside the community."

"I take time out every day to rest, and the rest of the time I drive online ride-hailing cars."

At this point, Ren Xi also continued to add: "Because I like to go out to take orders at night, and there are a lot of customers at night. I can rest when I am tired during the day. Anyway, the driving time is not fixed."

"Online car-hailing? Have you seen this person?" Officer Wang didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he took out his cell phone and showed Wen Jun's photo.

When Ren Xi saw him, his eyes lit up immediately and he said quickly, "I have seen this person before. He is my guest."

"He rode in my car last night."

Having said this, Ren Xi seemed to feel that he was speaking too fast. He suddenly froze for a moment and immediately became hesitant to speak.

"Then where are you taking this person?" asked Officer Wang.

"This one……"

"Tell the truth." Feeling that Ren Xi was about to lie, Officer Wang frowned and reminded him.

"I don't know either." Ren Xi shook his head.

"You don't know either? Aren't you an online car-hailing driver? How could you not know?" Listening to Ren Xi's explanation, Officer Wang was also confused.

But Ren Xi said with a bitter face: "You may not believe it, but I have never seen such a request from a customer before."

"Anyway, it just feels weird."

"Speak clearly, the more detailed the better." Officer Wang reminded again at this moment.

Ren Xi said "Oh", then he continued:

"Yes, last night, I found him sitting on the steps of the Riverside Plaza. Judging from his appearance, he should have just come out of the bar."

  "Wait a minute." Ren Xi said this, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted him and continued to ask:

"How do you know he just came out of the bar?"

"Oh, because I also sent a guest to the bar before. When he was about to leave, he suddenly contacted me through the platform phone and said that his phone was left in my car."

"I went back and saw that my phone was indeed left in the back seat, so I checked with him."

"He said he contacted me using the phone number of someone close to him and asked me to deliver the phone to him."

"Then did you deliver it?" asked Officer Wang.

"Yes, I didn't want to give it to you. I had already driven the car for some distance, but the other party gave too much and was quite generous."

"When I saw that the other party was so sincere, I just helped him deliver the car. It felt like I didn't have to drive a ride-hailing car for a whole night."

"What happened next?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

"Later?" Ren Xi tried to recall it, then continued:

"Afterwards, I parked my car in a roadside vacant lot near the Riverside Park and delivered the phone to the bar."

"I got paid and felt lucky. I was also very tired. Besides, the singer in the bar was a hot girl. She was pretty good-looking and had a good figure. She was dancing and singing."

"So I just found an empty seat and sat there to listen to the singing, and it just so happened that the person in your phone was also there."
