I am a super cop

When Gu Chen heard Maozi say that the bribe was brought by another person, his heart skipped a beat and he thought that this person was quite good at planning.

He wants to settle all the issues without showing up himself, which makes him a ruthless person.

Thinking of that other person, Gu Chen quickly asked again: "So, the three of you were in the KTV room that day, but you didn't know the other person at all?"

"No." Maozi shook his head like a rattle and quickly explained, "I really don't know that person well."

"You could say that I had never seen him before. It was only after he came to the private room that I realized that he was also entrusted by someone to come here."

"Besides, he had the same experience as me. He also received benefits for no reason. He thought he might as well do something for the other person, so he brought the money here."

"Is there such a mysterious thing?" Upon hearing this, Officer Wang clearly felt that something was wrong.

If you ask someone to do this, the other party will obviously be suspicious. However, when you think about how the Russians live, taking money to do things seems to be a natural thing to do.

Officer Wang looked at Mao Zi and continued to remind him, "Then you must have had contact with the person who sent the money. What did you talk about?"

"We didn't talk about anything." Maozi shook his head and said:

"Originally, I wouldn't dare to comment too much on this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing."

"After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch. I know that. I know I am definitely being used."

"If you talk more, it might cause offense. The smartest thing to do is to complete the task and then pretend that it didn't happen."

At this point, Maozi sighed and said helplessly:

"So when I saw you guys here, I was quite surprised at first, but soon, I felt that what was supposed to come would come sooner or later."

"You must have come to me for that matter."

Spreading his hands, Maozi also had a helpless expression: "Sure enough, just as I expected, you guys are really here for that matter."

"Since you know that the person behind this might be instigating you to commit a crime, why did you still do it?" Lu Weiwei asked somewhat puzzled.

After all, this Russian guy seems to have some ability to think independently, but he still does his own thing.

But Maozi also put on a bitter face and said: "Comrade policewoman, I have become like this? Do I still have a choice?"

"Moreover, they were willing to lend me chips and help me out even though I lost the bet."

"What do you call this? This is called helping someone in need. Even if I knew, the other party might be using me."

"But I'm just a broker, earning some money by helping people with their work. Besides, it's just helping to contact someone, isn't that illegal?"

With a heavy sigh, Maozi continued to explain: "So, after my analysis, I decided to do things for this person. After all, it is his business to do what he wants to do. I didn't do it, and I didn't break the law."

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Maozi said, and he has distanced himself from the matter completely.

Gu Chen frowned, walked up to Mao Zi, and continued, "Then do you know what the situation is with the electrician in this hotel?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I feel that the reason why that person asked me to contact him is that he must want him to help or something."

"As for why we wanted to find him, it must be because we had a related problem and wanted to ask him for help."

After a pause, Maozi continued, "I guess he wants to help with something related to line maintenance."

"But when I asked another person to bring money to the electrician, I realized that the situation was not that simple."

"After all, how much does it cost to build a line? It's not worth paying so much, so I felt at the time that what they were going to do might be somewhat dangerous."

At this point, Maozi sighed heavily and said helplessly:
"So, when I heard from you that the hotel's electrician had died of poisoning, I felt a little dizzy and thought to myself that these people were really cruel."

"The electrician should have helped them to sort out the problem, but he immediately started to get rid of him."

"So when I think about myself, I suddenly feel insecure. I feel very insecure."

"Are you sure that this was done by the boss behind the scenes?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"That's for sure." Maozi also said firmly: "Who else could be responsible for this matter except those people?"

"I just gave the electrician some money and he died of poisoning. I guess he helped them finish their job, so they wanted to get rid of him and didn't want him to know their secrets."

What Maozi said was very convincing, as if he had already understood the true despicable nature of the boss behind the scenes.

Lu Weiwei took a step forward and continued to ask, "Did the boss call you these days? Or contact you in other ways?"

"No." Maozi shook his head and said sarcastically:
"Maybe my life is worthless? Or maybe I'm just a broker and not directly involved in anything."

"Killing me might dirty my hands, so I'm too lazy to do it."

"Or maybe I'm just not valuable at all, so they let me go. Even if I'm questioned by you police officers, this is all I can tell you."

Spreading his hands, Maozi sighed helplessly: "So, this is my value."

"Did they give you anything?" While listening to Maozi's verbal narration, Gu Chen began to search the items in the room.

Maozi shook his head: "He didn't give me anything. He just gave me some chips that day to help me turn the tables. Otherwise, we don't have any interests in each other."

Hearing Mao Zi's words, Gu Chen turned his head to look at Mao Zi and continued to ask: "Where is the underground casino where you participated in gambling that day?"

"Uh……"

"Where is it?" Seeing that Maozi was hesitant at this moment, Officer Wang glared at him. Maozi was a little scared for a moment and quickly told the address:

"It's in Yanzi Community. Isn't there a vegetable market over there? There's a place selling vegetables over there, and there's a basement in the back. People usually hide there."

"A vegetable market? A basement?" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei was also a little confused, and continued to ask: "Can this place be an underground casino?"

"Yes, that community is relatively old, and the roads are well connected."

"That basement looks quite simple from the outside, like a warehouse for storing vegetables, but it's actually an underground casino, and only a small number of people know about it."

"Also, there are people keeping watch outside. Once they find any disturbance, they will immediately disguise themselves. In addition, there are many secret chambers inside to hide things."

"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly hesitated and thought of some situations.

So Gu Chen quickly asked again: "Can someone hide inside?"

"Yes, of course. There are many secret doors and rooms inside. Anyway, it's easy to hide someone there."

"But they are very flexible. If there is any movement, the sentries outside will notify you immediately. Therefore, it is difficult for you to track them down."

"Has anyone checked this before?" asked Officer Wang.

"No." Maozi shook his head: "Usually, people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau would pass by and enter the back door, but they didn't find the secret door." "So, the situation inside has not been discovered yet?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Maozi shook his head: "No, and no one would say anything nonsense. There are many people who lost everything in one night."

"Moreover, the owner of this casino has people who specialize in violent debt collection."

"That place is well organized, and gambling there is relatively safe."

"If someone reports something, these people will give a warning before they discover it. By then, even if we go in, we will only see a group of people huddled inside doing various tasks, such as moving vegetables."

Listening to Maozi's endless narration, Gu Chen felt more and more that if Wen Jun was caught, there was a high probability that he was hidden in this place by the other party.

First of all, Maozi was given chips in this casino, which means that he had been targeted by the other party for a long time.

In this case, the man might have been lurking in the casino for some time.

The relationship with the casino will definitely be more subtle.

Secondly, after kidnapping Wen Jun, locking him up here seemed to be a good choice.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen did not say it directly, but continued to ask Maozi: "Do you know the general topographic map of that place?"

"Not very clear." Maozi shook his head and said:
"That place is like a maze once you enter it. There are special people to lead you in."

"But I can remember some of the general structure."

"That's great." Hearing Mao Zi's words, Gu Chen immediately took out a pen and paper and handed it to him:

"Help me draw the structural diagram of the basement right now. Draw whatever you remember."

"What if you don't remember?" Maozi said with a bitter face.

"You must remember this." Officer Wang didn't want to hear this and reminded him with his eyes wide open.

Maozi was a little timid and could only obey and do as he was told.

So Maozi picked up paper and pen and began to think and draw on the table.

The crowd surrounded him, tilted their necks, and observed Maozi's drawing.

Soon, Maozi put down his pen.

Before Maozi could pick up the paper, Lu Weiwei took the lead and took the manuscript in her hands.

When Lu Weiwei saw the picture on the screen, her eyes were blank for a few seconds, and she handed the manuscript directly to Officer Wang beside her.

Officer Wang glanced at a few more and felt that he couldn't understand them at all. He couldn't help but complain:
"What are you drawing? It looks like a ghost's drawing. I can't even see clearly."

"I just draw whatever I remember. I'm not specialized in drawing maps." Maozi wanted to refute himself when he heard this.

Officer Wang was about to say a few more words when he was stopped by Gu Chen.

So Gu Chen asked again: "Then on this topographic map, which places have secret doors and secret chambers? Do you know them all?"

"I know a little." Maozi said.

Gu Chen continued to hand him the pen, swung his right index finger and said, "Draw, keep drawing."

Maozi sighed, feeling helpless, but there was nothing he could do. After thinking about it, he picked up the pen and began to circle the corresponding route positions based on his own thoughts.

He also looked up at Gu Chen and reminded him, "The place I circled has a secret box for storing items. It is usually used to deal with sudden inspections. You can quickly hide things like mahjong in the secret box."

"Well, what about the square? Is it a hidden large room?" Gu Chen also nodded and continued to ask.

Maozi nodded silently and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Yes, the square box means there is a secret door. I have never been behind it, but I have seen the staff here go in. It feels like a secret passage."

"Every time I tried to get close, a staff member guarding over there would always stop me in the first place and tell me to get out of here."

With a faint sigh, Maozi continued, "So, I roughly know where the secret door is."

"Of course, there are some that are unclear or not discovered, but the ones I marked should be those I have encountered before."

Listening to Maozi's story, Gu Chen picked up the paper and fell into deep thought.

Although the map drawn by the Russians on paper was extremely unprofessional, even at the level of a child.

But on the crooked map, the branches of the road were indeed drawn at the corresponding locations.

In this way, the Russians knew exactly where the secret boxes and secret doors were.

"Police comrade." Seeing Gu Chen looking at the map on the paper and lost in thought, Maozi also called out weakly.

Gu Chen came back to his senses from his previous thoughts and quickly asked again: "What's wrong?"

"Is there any problem with this map?" Maozi asked curiously, and he seemed to feel that the level of his own drawing was a bit rubbish.

But Gu Chen could understand it, and nodded slightly, saying without hesitation: "I can understand it."

"Oh, as long as you can understand it." Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to understand it, Mao Zi breathed a sigh of relief and asked again:
"This is all I can do to help you. What else do you want to know? I'm sorry, I really don't understand."

"Okay." He saw that Maozi had explained almost everything, but he seemed to know nothing about the rest.

It can be said that Maozi is the one who is used by others to convey information.

In this way, things can be done even without the other party having to go to certain specific places.

The price is to let these people run errands and then give them some money as a reward.

Gu Chen also called He Junchao based on the location information provided by Mao Zi, asking He Junchao to help investigate the situation around the vegetable market:

"Brother He." After the call was connected, Gu Chen quickly explained: "There is a vegetable market in Yanzi Community. Please keep a close watch on it for me."

Turning his head to look at Maozi, Gu Chen asked again: "The exact location."

"No. 23." Maozi replied quickly.

"There is a big casino hidden under the location 23."

"Please help me keep a close watch on this place."

"I understand." After hearing what Gu Chen said, He Junchao on the other end of the phone immediately responded.
