I am a super cop

Chapter 426 Strangers Haunt

"Are you going to visit Zhang Xiaomei's bungalow?" Zhang Wenqing was stunned for a moment, but his expression soon regained his composure: "Then... well, she will give the key to the village committee and let the people from the village committee look at it for her. I happen to have a house here."

"The bungalow Zhang Xiaomei built with the dirty money earned from abducting and selling children, and finally let your village committee take care of it?" Lu Weiwei hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Isn't this house a big advantage for your village committee? Shouldn't you be staying here?"

"Hehe, see what you said." Zhang Wenqing looked rather embarrassed, walked back to the village committee, opened an iron cabinet door with a small key, took out a bunch of keys from inside, and said, "Come with me."

Afterwards, the three of them came to Zhang Xiaomei's new home together with village committee member Zhang Wenqing.

Nowadays, the construction of new countryside is advocated everywhere, and all the construction of new houses in rural areas is based on the same plan and uniform style.

The buildings of other villagers are all decorated with blue tiles and white walls, with hooked feet on the edge of the roof, but Zhang Xiaomei's small bungalow is unique in the village, obviously with the architectural style of a Western-style church.

Also noticed the strange gazes of Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang, Zhang Wenqing opened the door and explained with a smile: "A few years ago, Zhang Xiaomei donated a lot of money to build an ancestral hall in the village, so the village committee gave her special approval for the house, and the structure can be according to Do it the way you like."

"I can't tell, this Zhang Xiaomei has a lot of taste." Following Zhang Wenqing into the small western building, Gu Chen looked around and couldn't help but marvel: "The decoration is too extravagant, it really is the ill-gotten gains from committing many crimes , it is vividly reflected in her small western-style building."

"Hehe, police comrades, please don't tease her. If what you said is true, then our Zhang Family Village Committee will definitely not forgive her. We will definitely assist the police and take her back for investigation."

Zhang Wenqing was quite clear-headed and knew why the police came this time.

Therefore, when cooperating with the police investigation, the whole person also appeared to be extremely active.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, and Police Officer Wang turned down from the room on the floor and found that there were many mahjong tables in the house, and almost every room was occupied by people, and the quilts on the beds were messy.

Zhang Wenqing also blushed and said, "Anyway, Zhang Xiaomei gave us the key, and she doesn't usually come back to live, so our village committee and some people who come to the village to do business, we will arrange to live in Zhang Xiaomei's small bungalow."

"Then these mahjong tables?" Gu Chen pointed to the mahjong tables on one of the floors and asked.

"Hehe, I'm usually bored. Occasionally, a few groups of people from the village will come here to play mahjong or something, but we play very little."

Zhang Wenqing's explanation was straightforward, and Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang couldn't find too many problems.

So after walking out of the bungalow, Police Officer Wang said, "Let me leave a call for you. If Zhang Xiaomei returns to the village, please control her."

"I know, I will contact you later." Zhang Wenqing said.

"That's right." Officer Wang took Zhang Wenqing's call, entered his number, and said, "Thank you for your cooperation."

"It should be, it should be, and it is the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the police in handling cases."

"Then let's go back first, and call if we need anything."

"it is good."

After several people teased each other, Gu Chen started the car and drove towards the road outside the village.

And Zhang Wenqing was sent to the intersection.

On the way, Gu Chen, who was driving, remained silent, but Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang were discussing related issues.

Seeing that Gu Chen was too quiet, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked him: "Junior Brother Gu, you seem to have been silent since you came out of the Zhangjia Village Committee, what's wrong?"

"Don't you find it strange?" Gu Chen turned his head to look at Lu Weiwei who was in the passenger seat, and said, "Zhang Xiaomei's small western-style building can be different from other villagers' buildings. You know, her building is in the center. Just because of donating that little money?"

"Are you worrying too much, Gu Chen?" Police Officer Wang yawned, leaned on the back seat and said, "Like my hometown, there are also such buildings that do not follow the regulations, but there are only a few of them, so it's not surprising of."

"That's right, what Old Wang said is the truth." Lu Weiwei also said.

Gu Chen nodded: "That's right, maybe the village committee gave her the green light, but what kind of business Zhang Xiaomei is doing outside, do you think Zhang Wenqing, or the village committee, can't know?"

"Maybe you won't bother?" Officer Wang said.

Lu Weiwei also said: "In this way, it seems that what Gu Shidi said makes sense. Think about it, Zhang Xiaomei is already in her sixties. Every time she comes back from other places, everyone in the village knows that she has made a lot of money. Ask her If she doesn't say it, are these people stupid? They must know something."

"For example, this small bungalow is said to be Zhang Xiaomei's new home, but have you found anything belonging to Zhang Xiaomei in the room?"

Officer Wang squinted his eyes and thought for a few seconds before he said: "Indeed, during the search just now, I didn't find anything belonging to Zhang Xiaomei. All the beds and rooms seem to be occupied by other people, or they may be members of their village committee. Shall we play mahjong at night?"

Gu Chen hesitated and said: "A Zhang Wenqing who doesn't ask Zhang Xiaomei what business he has been doing for many years, and a Zhang Wenqing who can live in a villager's house as his own. Although he actively cooperates with our work, why do I feel like acting?"

"Acting... Acting?" Lu Weiwei was also stunned, and asked weakly: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think this Zhang Wenqing is acting?"

"No way? I think he's very sincere." Officer Wang didn't believe it either.

Although Zhang Wenqing seemed quite surprised by the arrival of the police, he did a good job in coordinating the handling of the case.

Not only did Zhang Xiaomei, nicknamed Aunt Mei, explain her details clearly, but also expressed her willingness to cooperate with the police in arresting Zhang Xiaomei.

Zhang Wenqing not only provided some places where Zhang Xiaomei might haunt Jiangnan City, but also explained the situation in Zhang Xiaomei's home one by one.

In fact, in this way, Gu Chen already had a preliminary understanding of Zhang Xiaomei who had never met before.

Zhang Xiaomei was also controversial in the village because her husband died young and she was barren.

But later I heard that Zhang Xiaomei had a close relationship with many old men in the village, so her relationship with many women was very stiff.

Seven years ago, she still went out to work, but suddenly became prosperous in the next few years, which seems like a history of old age inspiration.

But from these information, Gu Chen probably had a rough analysis of Aunt Mei Zhang Xiaomei.

This is a lonely and extreme person, and he doesn't have a good relationship with the villagers.

But what is surprising is that such a fringe figure in the village has returned with honor in a few years and has a close relationship with the leaders of the village committee.

My own small western-style building has actually become the welfare of the village committee.

Therefore, Zhang Wenqing gave himself the feeling just now, as if he was entering and leaving his own home at will.

Back to the third criminal investigation team, according to the arrangement of police officer Wang, Zhang Xiaomei's portrait was immediately sent to all sub-bureaus, police stations and security posts in the city.

All members of the police force are requested to pay close attention to Aunt Mei's movements in Jiangnan City.

At the same time, on the Internet in Jiangnan City, in the circle of friends, two portraits about looking for Aunt Mei quietly appeared in everyone's circle of friends.

Many people are forwarding the relay.

At first, Police Officer Wang thought it was sent by someone inside the police force, but later found out that Bobo Boss was too eager, so he forwarded Gu Chen's sketch manuscript and the computer-generated color portrait of Aunt Mei through Moments sent out in the form.

At the beginning, it was only a small-scale forwarding relay within the Boss Boss industry group.

But it was later discovered that someone on the Internet sent the manuscript of his painting and the color image synthesized by the same computer to Moments.

For a while, pictures of real and fake Aunt Mei began to flood the Internet.

……

……

The next day, 9 am.

Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang came to the door of the chief's office.

Gu Chen knocked on the door of the room "dunk duk".

"Please come in." Zhao Guozhi responded from inside the room.

"Director Zhao, are you looking for us?" Gu Chen said as soon as he came in.

Zhao Guozhi took off his glasses and said angrily, "What's going on with you three groups? How did you allow so many photos of the manuscript to appear in the Weibo circle of friends in Jiangnan City? Some media didn't know it, and even forwarded it. "

"Zhao Bureau." Lu Weiwei felt aggrieved, and said, "How do we know what's going on? At first, it was Bobo Boss. He was too impatient, so he sent Gu Chen's manuscript and computer-generated color pictures to In the circle of friends."

"But later, who knew who was playing a prank, even posted the manuscript characters I drew and the color computer-synthesized images together in the circle of friends and forwarded them."

"There are so many photos of various manuscripts on Moments, people can't tell which one is real and which one is fake."

"That's right, Director Zhao, it's entirely possible that someone is playing a prank." Police Officer Wang also answered.

Zhao Guozhi waved his hand, took a sip from his teacup, and said, "I don't care who is real and who is not, you should tell me clearly to the public now, after all, you made this up, and you should find a way to solve it .”

After taking a few sips of tea, Zhao Guozhi said again: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that even the Director of the Municipal Bureau's circle of friends now has several different sets of manuscript drawings."

"But the content of the text is all about looking for Aunt Mei. For this reason, the city called me to ask me what's going on? I didn't understand what was going on, so you guys have to solve this matter for me."

Gu Chen also looked at Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang before saying, "How about we make an official announcement?"

"I think it will work." Lu Weiwei was the first to agree.

Police officer Wang also said: "It's time to clarify, otherwise the misunderstanding will become big. If these spoofers use other people's portraits as Aunt Mei, they will be complained."

"It's good to know." Zhao Guozhi also gave Police Officer Wang a look, and said: "Now, immediately, immediately, draw up a statement for me, if you want to find this Aunt Mei, then mobilize all the police forces, and the masses."

"As long as Aunt Mei is still in Jiangnan City for a day, we must bring her to justice. We can't let the common people feel cold. You three groups must shoulder this responsibility."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task." Gu Chen said first, followed by Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, who followed suit.

After returning to the third group, Lu Weiwei immediately edited the text on the document and drew up an official announcement.

Then use Weibo Moments to send, and send the file to Jiangnan City TV Station, Jiangnan Daily and other local media.

For a while, accurate news about the search for Aunt Mei began to spread in a normal order.

……

……

Five days later.

When Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were sorting out the relevant documents, Police Officer Wang rushed into the office, came to the two of them and said, "Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, both of you, put down your work and go out with me. "

"What's the situation, Senior Brother Wang?" Gu Chen looked at him inexplicably.

"It's about Aunt Mei. She showed up in a vegetable field on the outskirts of the city." Police Officer Wang was eager to stop, his mouth like a train running.

"Could it be that the citizens caught Aunt Mei in the vegetable field in the suburbs after seeing the notice?" Lu Weiwei was quite excited when she thought of this, "It would be great if this is the case, Boss Bobo must be very happy gone."

"It's not that simple." Officer Wang said with a gloomy face, "When this Aunt Mei was found, she was already out of breath."

"Dead?" Gu Chen suddenly exclaimed in shock, he hurriedly asked Police Officer Wang: "What's the matter, Senior Brother Wang?"

"I don't know very well." After police officer Wang walked back and forth, he explained: "According to reports from the masses, they found a female corpse in a vegetable garden in the suburbs. It is quite similar, so call the police immediately."

"It's not clear what's going on. I've asked the nearby police to go to the scene to maintain order, and we have to hurry over."

"Then hurry up." Gu Chen also quickly placed the document on the side, took the equipment off the wall and distributed it to everyone.

Afterwards, the three of them drove to the outskirts of the city.

About four and ten minutes passed.

Officer Wang suddenly turned right at a fork in the road where a billboard was located, and drove into a small road.

After driving for another three kilometers, it was discovered that there were a large number of people gathering in the nearby vegetable field.

The patrol police and some auxiliary police who arrived first had already pulled out a cordon at the scene.

All nearby residents were stopped by the police beyond the cordon.

Seeing a police car driving in, some people took the initiative to give up a passage.

Seeing that it was Gu Chen from the third group who got off the car, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong hurried forward.

"Gu Chen, so it's you?" Ding Liang said.

"Are you here too?" Gu Chen looked at the two of them.

"We were patrolling nearby just now and received a call from Police Officer Wang, so we came here immediately." Huang Zunlong pointed behind him and said, "The scene has been controlled by us."

"Very good, let's take a look now." Gu Chen couldn't wait.

After all, Aunt Mei, who had been looking for for many days, suddenly appeared in this way, which inevitably made Gu Chen feel puzzled.

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei followed closely behind, and they all walked towards the river near the vegetable field.

When the two auxiliary police officers saw the police officers from the criminal investigation team [-] of the sub-bureau on the scene, they took the initiative to give up a passage.

Huang Zunlong pointed to a female corpse by the river and said: "At first, it was a crowd who came here to water vegetables. He went to the river to fetch water, but suddenly found that there was a small dirt slope next to the path he often walked by."

"Because he is very familiar with the nearby terrain, he felt that this small soil slope was a bit strange, so he used tools to dig the soil."

"It just so happens that the soil here is relatively soft, so when he found out that it was a corpse, he was terrified, so he quickly called the nearby residents to help."

"It was only later that someone discovered that this female corpse was actually somewhat similar to the Aunt Mei that the police reported earlier, so they called the police."

Gu Chen walked up to the female corpse, knelt down, put on white gloves and inspected it carefully, and found that the female corpse was indeed a woman around 65 years old, and her appearance was exactly the same as that of Zhang Xiaomei in her manuscript.

"How is it?" Lu Weiwei, who was behind her, covered her nose and asked him.

"That's right, she is the 'Aunt Mei' Zhang Xiaomei we are looking for." Gu Chen stood up, and then asked Huang Zunlong: "By the way, are the people who first discovered this female corpse still at the scene?"

"Yes, I'll bring him here." Huang Zunlong also turned around quickly.

Not long after, he brought a white-haired old man in front of Gu Chen from the crowd: "Gu Chen, someone brought it to you, and it's him."

When the white-haired old man saw Gu Chen, he nodded politely and said, "Comrade police."

"What's your name?" Gu Chen asked him.

"You can call me Laobai." The white-haired old man said.

"Okay, Mr. Bai, I'm going to ask you a few questions now, please answer truthfully, okay?" Gu Chen took out his notebook with a questioning attitude.

Lao Bai also nodded: "You ask, I will tell you what I know."

"Very good." Gu Chen nodded and continued to ask him, "When did you find this female corpse?"

"Probably..." Lao Bai looked up and recalled for a few seconds, and then said: "About two hours ago, when I came here to water the vegetables."

"Were you alone at the scene?" Gu Chen asked again.

Lao Bai shook his head and said, "There is another owner of the vegetable field, his name is Lao Fang, and he was about 100 meters away from me at that time."

"That is to say, when you found the body, you asked Lao Fang to help, right?" Officer Wang took Lao Bai's words and continued to ask him.

"That's right." Lao Bai also nodded, and responded very straightforwardly: "I was scared at the time, so I called Lao Fang over, and the two of us pushed aside the dirt together, and found the appearance of this female corpse, which was similar to what we had seen in Moments before. The 'Aunt May' I saw was somewhat similar."

"We thought, this is a big deal, we can't be sloppy, so we went to the nearby area and called more people to help, and together we scraped the corpse out of the dirt. Someone called the police, and after about ten minutes, The police are here for you."

"Who can prove what you said?" Gu Chen asked.

Lao Fang pointed to a group of people behind him and said, "They, they were all called by me at that time."

"That's right, we can all prove that it was Lao Bai who discovered it first, and then called Lao Fang to help." A man in the crowd echoed.

Gu Chen nodded, and then asked: "Then have you noticed any strangers haunting here recently?"

"Stranger?" Lao Bai scratched the back of his head, lost in thought, but after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, the stranger you mentioned really exists."
